What's the best clam chowder recipe?
THIS ONE! From all the recipes using clams, this one is so easy to make. If you're looking for a seafood soup recipe that you can alter depending on what seafood you have, add this soup to your repertoire. Want it lower in calories? Use milk instead of cream and use low-fat sour cream instead of regular sour cream.
Yes, although "Clam Chowder" is known as a famous American dish, in Germany it's called "Muschelsuppe" and is very popular as well.
There is no one original American recipe ... neither is there one original German recipe. Check out the note at the end to find out how to make this more German! I'll give you a hint ... it's not more cream ...
Give this easy recipe a try. I think you'll also call it the BEST clam chowder recipe you've had! Really! Wunderbar!
Like the soup shown here? You'll love looking at and making more of Oma's soups. All so quick and easy!
What makes these soups so wunderbar? They bring back such wonderful memories of my Mutti's kitchen. So, of course, I had to write my own soup e-cookbook to share with my grandchildren. I know you'll LOVE it, too!
There are 84 full-color pages filled with step-by-step instructions and hints. Take a quick peek ...
Sharing these soup recipes from my Mutti and Oma to my own young grandchildren ... that's such a delicious way to pass on our German heritage :)
A bit of this and a bit of that ...
- Add 1 cup of sliced mushrooms to the onions.
- For some extras spiciness, add 3 - 4 drops of hot pepper sauce.
- Replace ½ cup of chicken broth with dry white wine.
- Dice 5 slices of bacon and fry them until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper toweling. Add to soup at the end. If you wish, you could fry the onions in the bacon fat. Extra yumminess!

If you're learning how to make chowder and want extra YUMMINESS? Add the GERMAN touch!

Oh, so creamy and so delicious! Even my hubby, a non-seafood lover, loved this!
