Ray's Clam Chowder Recipe

This creamy clam chowder recipe is adapted from "Ray's Boathouse" cookbook (Documentary Media LLC, 2003). Ray's Boathouse restaurant is an institution here in Seattle - the place everyone went to find the finest and most delicious Pacific Northwest seafood -- at least back when I first moved here in 1990. As the cookbook says on the very first page: Ray's is not so much a fish house as an Phenomenon.

This recipe is a super simple and reliable clam chowder recipe that is oh so Pacific Northwest.

instructions

1. Melt butter in a 5-quart stockpot over medium-high heat. Add potatoes, celery, onion and carrot and saute for 5 minutes.

2. Add flour and stir to make a roux.

3. Add stock, cream, half-and-half, worchestershire sauce, tabasco sause, pepper, salt, thyme and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender - about 15 to 20 minutes.

4. Stir in clams.

5. Garnish with chopped chives and serve.
