How To Make Golden Corral Copycat Clam Chowder
This thick and rich clam chowder is loaded with vegetables making it a filling comfort food.
Ingredients
- 6½ oz clams, (3 cans), drained and chopped, save the juice
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 cups milk
- 2 cups potatoes, cubed
- 1 cup yellow onions, minced
- 1 cup celery, diced
- 1 cup carrots, diced
- ¾ cup unsalted butter
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- salt and ground white pepper
- water, as needed
For Serving:
- ½ oz saltine crackers, per serving
For Garnish:
- ½ tsp parsley, per serving, chopped
Instructions
-
Heat up your oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes, onions, celery, and carrots. Saute until translucent.
-
Add the clam juice, then add enough water to cover all the vegetables. Bring this to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Continue simmering until the vegetables are tender, roughly 20 minutes.
-
While waiting, melt the butter in a soup pot over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until it forms a roux.
-
Slowly add your milk, followed by the cream, while whisking constantly until evenly incorporated.
-
Once your vegetables are tender, pour the entire content of your deep skillet into your soup pot. Stir to combine, then bring to a simmer.
-
Continue simmering until there is no flour taste in your soup, roughly 10 minutes. Avoid boiling this to avoid burning.
-
Add the clams and vinegar. Stir to combine, then reduce the heat to low. We want to just heat the clams through, else it will be tough as rubber.
-
Season to taste with salt and pepper. Adjust accordingly.
-
Ladle into your preferred soup bowl and serve with crackers.
