{soups-salads-and-salad-dressings} Clam Chowder for 60 Recipe

 

Clam Chowder for 60 Recipe


When my mobile home park put on a "Soup Day" potluck, this is the recipe I made. Everyone agreed it tasted as good—if not better!—than the version so popular in New England.—Gretchen Draeger, Santa Cruz, California


    60 Servings
    Prep: 40 min.
    Cook: 45 min.


Ingredients

    30 cans (6-1/2 ounces each) minced clams
    8 cups diced onions
    1-1/2 pounds butter, cubed
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    3 quarts milk
    3 bunches celery, sliced
    3 cups minced fresh parsley
    12 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
    3 pounds shredded sharp cheddar cheese
    Salt and pepper to taste


Directions

    Drain and rinse clams, reserving juice; set aside. In a two stockpots, saute onions in butter until tender. Add flour; stir to form a smooth paste. Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly until slightly thickened (do not boil). Add celery, parsley and potatoes and cook until tender, about 45 minutes.
    Add clams and cheese; cook until cheese is melted and soup is heated through. Add the reserved clam juice, salt and pepper. Yield: 60 servings.
