Market Street Clam Chowder

Market Street Clam Chowder | Garnish & Glaze

My husband has been begging me to make clam chowder for months.  He’s not a big soup fan but if it has fish and is super creamy then he’s all for it.   I guess my next task will be to make lobster bisque.  But I don’t mind because that stuff is good!  

This is a copycat recipe of the Salt Lake City restaurant Market Street Grill.  Best seafood restaurant in Salt Lake.  Every time we visited Utah to see family we always made sure to eat there at least once.  One time we ate there with my grandparents a few hours before heading to the airport and while driving away somehow the trunk of my grandma’s car popped open and all of our luggage fell out in the middle of the intersection.  It was pretty funny for us kids to see but the adults (especially my grandparents) were freaking out which kind of made it even funnier.  Oh and it was pouring rain at the time too.  Good times.Market Street Clam Chowder | Garnish & Glaze

So… I did make a few adjustments to the original recipe.  I increased the potatoes to make it chunkier and the starch also helps thicken the soup up.  There are slightly more clams and I changed when to add them.  The original recipe has you simmer the clams with everything else but since they are already cooked you are just over cooking them which makes them tough and rubbery (not appetizing).  Adding them at the end and warming them up with the cream keeps the clams perfectly tender.  I also just threw in whole sprigs of thyme because I had it on hand but you can also use dried.
