Like everything I`ve tried, the soup was excellent. Can you get a prescription? Light cream, mussel meat, fish broth (water, pollock, salt), potatoes, onions, contains 2% or less of: wheat flour, butter (cream, salt), vegetable based (carrots, onions, celery, salt, sugar, maltodextrin, corn oil, yeast extract, natural flavors, potato starch), mussel broth powder (mussel broth, maltodextrin), lard, Worcestershire sauce (distilled white vinegar, molasses, water, sugar, onions, anchovies, salt, garlic, cloves, tamarind extract, natural flavours, chilli extract), garlic, sugar, modified food starch, pepperoni sauce (distilled vinegar, red pepper, salt), nisin preparation and spices. Drain and peel the clams and store the broth in a bowl. Add the reserved mussel broth and fish broth and whisk to remove the pieces of flour. Use a concentrated mussel base, which is found in the soup aisle, or frozen broth for fish broth.
Clean the clams and place them in a large saucepan with the garlic and water. Steam the clams until they open (about 6 to 10 minutes, depending on size). Dear Tracy: The Legal Sea Foods restaurant chain, which provided this recipe, sells 700 gallons of chowder every week, so we know it`s popular. The recipe contained a caveat: “Don`t try to skimp on reducing the amount of clams or cream, because soup will never taste as tasty as ours.” Hob: Remove the chowder from the container and pour it into a heavy saucepan. Simmer hot (165°F) over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Microwave: Remove the container from the outer shell and remove the film from the container. Place the container on a microwave-proof plate and cover it loosely with microwaveable plastic wrap or paper towel. Heat over high heat for about 5-6 minutes or until completely hot (165°F), stir the soup halfway through the heating process. Microwave time may vary, adjust accordingly.

However, there is one secret ingredient that sets it apart from all other chowder recipes. The key to this characteristic taste is nothing more than a little salted pork and the crackling that is created during rendering. Legal Seafood is a popular restaurant chain on the East Coast and they make a fantastic clam chowder.

Steam shells only until opened, about 6 to 10 minutes, depending on their size. Drain and peel the mussels, reserve the broth (there should be about 4 cups).

Add the reserved mussel broth and fish broth and whisk to remove the pieces of flour. Cook the onions slowly in the fat and stir frequently for about 6 minutes or until cooked but not golden brown.
