Directions
Jasper’s New England Clam Chowder, Jasper White is famous for Chowders He has published a cookbook of just chowders This is the pot of chowder served at our house our way, mostly on cold winter nights It has none of the glue of flour, so is quite good for gluten-intolerant folks , Delicious! I love that it uses the starch from the potatoes instead of flour to thicken the base used fresh thyme and parsley, and 1/2 and 1/2 instead of heavy cream It was delicious, but I think next time I would use the heavy cream the recipe calls for , use salt pork in place of bacon My father made a CT broth chowder and that was the fat he used It’s a little more subtle than bacon and I am a bacon fan Some scallions are also a nice add at the end The fresh thyme, though, makes this the best chowder I’ve had
