Copycat Disneyland Clam Chowder
I have never tasted the Clam Chowder at Disneyland but if it is like this copycat recipe it is very good! Full of clams, potatoes, onion, celery, red pepper and green pepper plus other ingredients makes this a very delicious Clam Chowder. I don’t care for red and green peppers so I leave them out.

Ingredients
In a large saucepan melt the
butter over medium heat.
Add the flour.
Whisk until combined making a roux.
Cook for 5 – 8 minutes stirring often
then set aside. It will turn brown.
In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat.
Sauté the potatoes, onion, celery, red pepper
and green pepper.
(I don’t like peppers so I didn’t use them).
Sauté for about 10 minutes or until
the potatoes are cooked.
Add the heavy cream, clam juice,
clams, thyme, salt, pepper,
Tabasco sauce and roux.
Whisk well blending in the roux.
Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer
and simmer for about 5 minutes,
stirring occasionally.
Place into serving bowls and serve.

Never been to Disneyland myself. Not been to USA ever but all over the world except. Clams we can get here so will give this a try .My own love is Muscles in onions and white wine and butter boiled until shells open then use shells up scoop up the lovely juices and shell fish too. Garlic grated over it is true French dish

Yes it is pretty easy and it doesn’t make a huge pot of it so he should be able to finish it himself.

I should really eat it from someone who knows how to make it for the first time. If I make it poorly, my view on clam chowder will be seriously biased!

Make sure you try the kind you think you would like best. One is a red clam chowder called Rhode Island/Manhattan which I don’t like. The other is the white New England clam chowder which I love. Try them in a restaurant. If you ever go to a Red Lobster restaurant they have a great white clam chowder.

It looks delicious and that is something my mom never made – she was not a fish eater, though she made fish-type dinners with salmon or tuna, but clam soup, a favorite of mine, was/is Campbell’s Chunky Soup.

OMG I have to tell you about my granddaughter! She only likes the extra cheddar Gold Fish crackers. My husband does the grocery shopping (he loves it I hate it). However, I do the Sam’s Club shopping because he buys too much. Anyhow, I saw a gigantic 3 bags in a box Gold Fish and was so excited because we were buying them every week for her. I knew these would last! Well the ones I bought weren’t the extra cheese! So I have all these gold fish she has to eat and doesn’t really like….bad Grandma!

That’s funny – didn’t know about the extra cheese and I’m guessing they would just have the bigger quantities of the regular cheese Goldfish? I’ve never been to Sam’s Club since it’s just me. I just love Goldfish and the whole grain are cheesy … I tried the pizza ones too, bet she would like them – they are good and give the clam soup a little pizzazz!

Yeah – they have an eating area – up near the children’s stuff and kitchen demos (at the one in northern va – and in their defense – we often went at night – so the soup is winding down – but even daytime hours it is never warm enough – and maybe because some of them are cream based they can’t be super hot – but think I got sick on it twice and will never eat their again – I used to get their salmon and soup – anyhow – they also sell food items like coffee and their famous meatballs

got it – but at least you are so close and have things really set up – that is such a gift. Seth Godin was just talking in ana interview about how retirement will not necessarily be so secure for future generations – and not because of SS issues – but because jobs are changing and the whole system is different –
anyhow, the four years will go fast

As we don’t really have it here in UK I never had clam chowder until I was in the Maritime Provinces of Canada travelling with my friend a few years ago and I loved it. Since then I have always been promising to make some but never got round to it. The problem here is that clams are prohibitively expensive but I’ll treat myself one of these days. I must admit that I did not know Disneyland was famous for chowder.
