ingredients

CLAM CHOWDA
2 tablespoons butter
2 slices thick cut bacon, chopped
1 medium maui onion, chopped
2 celery ribs, with green leafy tops chopped
4 sprigs fresh thyme
salt and pepper
2 teaspoons hot sauce
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 pint half-and-half
2 cups chicken stock
1 cup raw shredded hash brown potatoes
2 (2 ounce) cans baby clams, plus juice (she doesn't specify size)
DEVILED HAM MELTS
2 sandwich size English muffins, split
12 ounces boiled deli ham, chopped
1 tablespoon paprika
2 tablespoons hot sauce
3 -4 tablespoons yellow mustard, squirt top bottle (eyeball it)
fresh parsley (curly or flat)
8 -10 ounces sharp white cheddar cheese (about 8 deli slices)

directions

n a medium pot over medium high heat melt butter. Add bacon and onions, celery and thyme sprigs. Season with salt, pepper and hot sauce and cook 5 minutes. Add flour and cook a minute more.
Add half-and-half and stock and bring to a bubble, then stir in potatoes and clams. Bring soup back to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes, until potatoes are cooked and soup has thickened to coat the back of a spoon.
Heat toaster oven or broiler then toast split English muffins. While muffins toast, grind ham with paprika, hot sauce, mustard, and parsley in a food processor. Spread ham on toasted muffins. Top each muffin half with 2 slices Cheddar and melt cheese in toaster oven or under broiler.
Remove the thyme sprigs from the soup. The thyme leaves will have fallen off into the soup. Stir and adjust seasonings in your soup. Pour soup into mugs. Serve with deviled ham and cheese mug toppers.

Aloha! I just recently started spending more time in the kitchen and am learning that cooking and baking can be fun as well as challenging. My favorite cookbook resources are my 'gourmet' sister and the very patient and generous Ohana of Zaar. Mahalo nui loa! My rating system: The first time I try a recipe, I follow the instructions as given; if I do a little tweaking, I keep that in mind when rating. It's not right to rate lower because of something I did or didn't do. ***** ... Excellent! Tasted great with/without tweaking. ****  ... Loved It! Tasted great with/without tweaking. No stars ... May be an excellent recipe but I was unable to get it to work for me. May or may not try again later. We don't all have the same taste preferences. I've found recipes with lots of five stars that just didn't work for me and some with less that I thought were great. Thank you All for sharing!
