CLAM CHOWDER


Another wintry day meant another hot soup waiting for me after a day at work. This time it was the aforementioned clam chowder. It was one of the best bowls of chowder I've ever had. The clams were plentiful but not overpowering. The potatoes were firm but yielding. The broth was milky and neither too thick nor too thin. The bacon in it made it to die for. And, like The Wife's Guinness Beef Stew, The Wife's Clam Chowder was a great partner for Deschutes Brewery's Red Chair Northwest Pale Ale.
