И еще про нашу столовую в колледже

[cherniavska]

Что я ем в течение недели? Главное, что я не готовлю! Утром я пью кофе в колледже, иногда с клубничной слойкой.. а в обед я отрываюсь по супам и желе..
Каждый день они готовят как минимум три вида супа. Чем они отличаются от того, что я обычно готовлю - там очень много пряностей, и половина супов - супы-пюре.
Все очень вкусные, но clam chowder rules!!!

Аааа,.. Не трави душу. Единственное, за чем я готова пересечь атлантику - clam chowder...

А самой сварить?

CLAM CHOWDER
This is a very thick and creamy chowder, and a very easy recipe for in the inexperienced chef. It also refrigerates nicely; just add a few tablespoons of milk to loosen it up when you reheat.

1 cup onion, finely diced
1 cup celery, finely diced
1/2 cup cooked bacon, coarsely chopped
1 stick of margarine
1 cup of flour
5 cups bottled clam juice
3 cans (6-1/2 oz.) of chopped clams
8 oz. cooked potatoes, cut in 3/4-inch cubes
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup light cream
1 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Oyster crackers

In a large thick-bottomed pan, heat the clam juice.
In a separate pan, melt margarine over a medium-high heat. Add celery and onions that have been finely chopped, and saute until they appear translucent - about 3 minutes. Add bacon and flour and stir continuously for another 5 minutes. This mixture is your roux; it will be added to the liquid to thicken the chowder. Be sure not to leave the roux unattended as it must constantly be stirred to avoid burning.
Increase heat on juice to medium-high, and with a wire whisk, add roux mixture to liquid. Stir constantly, and make sure to break up any lumps that may form.
Add clams (and the liquid that they are packed in) to chowder and stir. Chop potatoes coarsely and add to chowder.
Add milk and light cream and stir. Add salt and taste; this being a small amount of salt, you may want to increase the amount.
Decrease heat to medium-low, and allow to simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring very frequently.
Stir piping hot with oyster crackers and a pepper mill, and encourage your family and friends to load up on the fresh black pepper.
