Alaska Clam Chowder

A good recipe, a little different, with added noodles to make a hearty chowder.

Ingredients:

1 can (7 ounces) minced clams (1 cup)
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 small clove of garlic, minced
3 Tbsp. butter or other fat
1/4 cup flour
2 cups boiling clam juice from can and water
1 chicken bouillon cube
1 small bay leaf
1 cup milk
1 cup cooked pasta
paprika

Directions:

Fry onion and garlic in butter until tender. Blend in the flour and saute on medium low for one minute. Add liquid in which the bouillon has been dissolved, add bay leaf, and cook until thick. Add milk, clams and noodles; heat thoroughly. Serve in heated bowls. Garnish with paprika.

Interesting. I don't think I've ever seen a Clam Chowder recipe that had pasta of any kind in it. Usually, it's potato. The bunch that eats here loves pasta anyway you doctor it up, so we'll have to try it. I've made a similar "chowder" using the Solid Pack White Albacore Tuna packed in water, and it turned out just great. I think I just like to eat. LOL
Thanks Barb. You're getting another Thumbs Up.
