What is a roux?
A roux is a mixture of fat and flour that is the base for making smooth, thick soups and sauces. We used butter for this recipe.
Simply melt the butter in a saucepan and slowly add the flour while whisking to avoid clumping. Remove it from the heat as soon as your flour and butter are combined into a thick paste.
You will mix your roux together with the chowder after you’ve mixed the cream, clam juice, clams, and seasonings.
Stir constantly while slowly mixing everything together. Again, the goal is to avoid lumps by adding slowly and whisking constantly. Wire whisks are a must for this recipe!
Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Whether you intend to serve this as an appetizer or main dish, Disneyland’s Clam Chowder Recipe will be a tasty addition to your dinner table.
