Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon EVOO
- 1/3 pound lean bacon, chopped
- 4 large ears corn on the cob, kernels cut off and cobs scraped
- 2 tablespoons seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, chopped
- 3 to 4 small ribs celery with leafy tops, chopped
- 2 fresh bay leaves
- 2 jalapeno or Fresno chiles, chopped or thinly sliced
- 1 red onion, chopped
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 3 to 4 heirloom tomatoes, chopped
- 4 pounds littleneck clams, scrubbed
- 1 lager beer
- Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
- Hot sauce, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- For the chowder: In a soup pot or a Dutch oven, heat the EVOO over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook until crisp, about 5 minutes. Add the corn and cook until the kernels are lightly browned at the edges, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the seafood seasoning, thyme, garlic, celery, bay leaves, chiles and onions, and cook until softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the chicken stock and tomatoes. Bring to a simmer, then turn off the heat.
- For the croutons: Arrange the English muffin cubes on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Toast in the oven until light golden. Melt the butter with the hot sauce. Place the croutons in a bowl and toss with the parsley, seafood seasoning and the butter mixture. Return to the rack set over the baking sheet and bake until deeply golden. Let cool.
- To finish the chowder: Place the clams and beer in a large pot with a tight-fitting lid, and season with sea salt and pepper. Cover and bring to a boil, then cook at a rapid simmer until the clams open, 3 to 5 minutes. Discard any unopened clams.
- Divide the clams and the cooking liquid among 4 shallow bowls. Ladle the corn chowder over top and garnish with the croutons. Serve with hot sauce.
- Cook's Notes: You can make the chowder base up to 5 days ahead. Cool and store in the refrigerator, then reheat over a medium flame. Buy the clams within 48 hours of serving and cook them just before you're ready to serve.
- You can store the croutons in an airtight container or in a foil pouch until ready to use.
