This may be the best Thick New England Clam Chowder recipe you have ever tried.
This is my go to recipe for New England Clam Chowder soup.
It is out of this world delicious!
WHERE DID NEW ENGLAND CLAM CHOWDER ORIGINATE
It is said to have originate in NYC and was introduced by the French, Nova Scotian, or British settlers.
And this here is truly an authentic clam chowder recipe.
I know because this is my favorite soup in the whole wide World.
I will eat this all day everyday if I could.
An when I say my version it’s quick to make, I mean it.
WHAT IS NEW ENGLAND CLAM CHOWDER
It is a milk or cream based clam chowder vs a tomato like another famous chowder called the Manhattan we have all known to love as well.
It is also thicker and made with butter, potatoes, pork in this case bacon, onions and clams.
WHAT DOES NEW ENGLAND CLAM CHOWDER TASTE LIKE
Creamy, thick, sweet and salty.
HOW IS NEW ENGLAND CLAM CHOWDER MADE
It is really easy rather, you are simply adding everything to one pot to cook.
Dicing and chopping will take the majority of the time then let the pot do the rest.
Want to save some time with this soup?
Simply use frozen yet clams, there will be no shucking here.
You can have a huge pot of this soup ready to serve in 30 minutes time.
This soup takes me right back to my childhood, where I used to eat this soup religiously.
I hope you give it a try!
However my family never made it from scratch so I had to settle for the canned stuff.
You know the soup that has way more potatoes than clams?
Oh the things we remember eh!
My parents used to buy those cans for me by caseload because, they knew I would go through a case in less than 2 weeks.
Well looking back I sure was missing out, now I know how to make real clam chowder.
Long gone are the days of eating thick clumpy chowder from a can and having to add extra cream to it to make it creamy.
Clam chowder soup should be creamy and smooth and filled with clams and there juices.
Not thick and clumpy and filled with mainly potatoes.
And please don’t add carrots to it, why do some people do that anyway? it’s so so wrong.
Yes there are some people who still prefer a thicker chowder and that is fine, feel free to omit the vegetable stock of that is you.
But please don’t add canned clams, using fresh or frozen is best.
The trick to making the best clam chowder is using fresh or frozen clams and cooking them for just a few minutes at the end to prevent them from becoming rubbery.
HOW TO MAKE NEW ENGLAND CLAM CHOWDER SOUP
So what are those secret ingredients?
Simply Old Bay Seasoning and some Red Wine Vinegar that we will splash in at the end.
The Red Wine Vinegar will give it that extra oomph and help tie this soup all together.
And clam juice (See below the kind I used for this recipe)
CAN NEW ENGLAND CLAM CHOWDER BE FROZEN
Most defiantly!
I hope you give it a try and if you do I would love to know what you think, just let me know in the comments below.
Keep in mind if you wanting a lower fat clam chowder, you can always use all milk and omit the cream.
I would not recommend that personally but if your on a diet of some kind then by all means, it’s your chowder.
Don’t mistake this clam chowder with any other and definitely not it’s counterpart named the Manhattan clam chowder.
Which is good but made with a tomato stock rather than cream. I now make this soup in big batches so that I can enjoy it over a few days 🙂
What soup is your go to in the colder months?
I am so thrilled you are reading one of my recipes, I appreciate every single one of you! If you made this recipe i’d love to hear how it turned out!

This Creamy Thai Carrot Soup is made with lots of carrots and has hints of thai flavors incorporated into it.
PLUS it is simple to make, trust me I have tested this recipe a few times. And have come up with the easiest way to make this from scratch. There is no peeling of the carrots here and everything is pretty much done in one pot.
Minus the blending of the carrots at the end. But it is so worth it because it turns into the most delicious creamy carrot soup ever!
Have you ever tried Red Thai Curry before? If you have then you will recognize some of those flavors here. This soup is not boring by any means, and it does not taste just like carrots.
Rather all the ingredients here only enhances the carrots. Which have linked with benefits for heart and eye health, improved digestion, as well as reduced risk of cancer.
Now there are plenty of ways to make this kind of soup, so I’m going to give you a few options here and let then you decide what works best for you.
I have experiment with a few carrot soups in my day, and I have found most of them bland to be honest. That is probably why people sometimes add potatoes and other elements to it. But not I!
I prepare this soup the exact same way I would any “Red Thai Curry” minus the fish stock.
With the addition of 8 carrots. If you are not as much of a carrot fan, then you can also half the amount of carrots and add one sweet potato to the stock. “Cubed” of course, then you will want to blend that along with the carrots.
IS CARROT SOUP HEALTHY
YES, carrots have been linked with plenty of benefits for heart and eye health, improved digestion, as well as reduced risk of cancer. Being that their is 8 whole carrots in this soup you are getting a whole lot of those benefits.
WHY IS CARROT SOUP HEALTHY FOR YOU
Because it is packed full beta-carotene, fiber, vitamin K, potassium and antioxidants
They are a weight loss friendly food and have been linked to lower cholesterol levels and improved eye health
The list goes on and on as to the benefits of carrots.
HOW TO MAKE THAI CARROT SOUP
You will start by washing and chopping the carrots, do not remove the skin. It is very healthy for you as that is where most of the nutrients are stored.
Then in a large pot you will want to saute the Red Thai Curry Paste in a little bit of oil for 2 minutes or until fragrant.
Along with the fresh ginger.
Then you will add the coconut milk along with the vegetable stock.
Add the cubed carrots, star anise and sugar.
Place the lid on the soup and simmer on medium heat for 20 minutes or until the carrots are fork tender.
With a ladle remove the carrots and place into a blender, along with 1 cup of the stock.
Blend until completely creamy and smooth.
Pour back into the pot, cover and simmer 5 more minutes.
Serve into bowls, then crush up some cashews and parsley and garnish.
Squeeze half a lime over each bowl and enjoy!
WHAT IS THAI CARROT SOUP
Red Thai Curry consists Coconut milk, Vegetable Stock, Red Thai Curry Paste, Ginger, Sugar, Star Anise and lots of Carrots.
Traditionally Red Thai Curry paste is made in a mortar and is comprised of shallots, garlic, green chilies, galangal, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves among some other ingredients and spices.
How the Red Thai Curry that I use and HIGHLY recommend has all that in it. (see below)
The ONLY brand I will use!!
Also if you’re feeling under the weather, this is the perfect soup to make.
Just simply go ahead and add more ginger to this soup as it carries a ton of antibacterial properties.
And has been proven to help people get better much faster.
So you have two options when preparing this dish, either you can make the Red Thai Curry from scratch with the traditional Thai ingredients.
By crushing it all together in a mortar or you can buy the premade “Red Thai Curry Paste” which has all this in the paste, and is much easier.
This is the method we highly recommend, as it’s much easier. We hope you give it a try, and let us know how it turned out for you.
CAN CARROT SOUP BE FROZEN
Definitely, just make sure you are placing it in a freezer friendly container.
You really you cannot go wrong with making this soup, it’s healthy and also an excellent recipe to keep on hand when you have a ton of carrots.
If you love Thai food as much as me, then you will want to try my other thai dishes! All are AMAZING and really are some of the best ways to make Thai at home in a fraction of the time.

These Air Fryer Asian Chicken Drumsticks are sweet and sticky and are cooked to perfection in the air fryer.
CAN YOU PUT FOIL IN THE AIR FRYER
Iv’e been asked this question many times and the answer is yes.
I use it often when cooking sticky foods as the clean up after is that much easier.
WHAT IS AIR FRYING
Air frying is a healthy alternative to deep frying food. And most air fryers have been marketed in a way to make you think that this cooking technique is best for those who make a lot of those at home.
Well I am here to tell you that you do not need to just be a deep fried food lover to want to use this cooking method. RATHER if you love to bake food, then this is also a great alternative. And in most cases is much healthier than traditional baking methods.
Because air frying mimics deep fried foods but uses little to no oil. And if your cooking something fatty, the fat will drip away and off the food.
So you can enjoy all the same deep – fried or baked foods that we have all come to know and love again but in a healthy way.
The air hot air is what cooks the food not the oil. If you have some frozen foods on hand, feel free to throw out any deep fryer you may have because the air fryer can now do the same job.
But it is not only frozen food that can be cooked this way, pretty much any food you can think of can.
If you like sweet and savory asian inspired chicken flavors, then you’re sure to want to add this recipe to your cookbook collection.
I’m super excited to share my first Air Fryer recipe with you all today. I have been on the fence for the past year about buying an air fryer.
Mainly because I do not eat a lot of deep fried foods and also because I could not fathom spending $200 plus for ONE. Air fryers promise that you can get that deep fried texture without all the grease.
So recently when I came across the Gotham air fryer, that does the exact same thing as an air fryer.
And knew that I had to try it! So I’m now starting a Air Fryer collection of recipes on this blog because I have fallen in love with this NEW kitchen tool.
CAN I USE ANY KIND OF AIR FRYER?
YES!
HOW TO COOK CHICKEN IN THE AIR FRYER?
If your using a Kitchen Top Air Fryer, follow your Air fryers cooking instructions for chicken drumsticks.
Then coat the Chicken in Olive Oil vs Cooking Oil = 3 tbsp per 6 legs is enough.
Marinated the chicken for 30 minutes before air frying.
Place the Chicken in or on the Air Fryer and allow it to do the Cooking.
NOTE: Each air fryer has different cooking instructions based on size and model. It is best to check with your units information in regards to cooking times and temps for chicken drumsticks
HOW TO COOK CHICKEN ON THE GOTHAM STEEL AIR FRYER?
If your using the Gotham Steel Crisper I would advise to turn your oven to Conventional bake, which will make the chicken extra crispy. Otherwise if your oven does not have that setting you can simply place the crisper on the middle rack, which works well too.
Follow the same instructions above.
If you have a table top Air Fryer all these recipes will work the same. Because Air Fryers all use the same type of cooking techniques.
IS AIR FRYER CHICKEN HEALTHY?
Yes, in comparison to other methods of cooking chicken it is. If you have never used an air fryer, now is the time. They are more affordable now than ever. Plus they are also a much healthier way to cook food, since the fat drains away and it is never deep fried.
Some people think that an Air Fryer is mostly for people who eat a lot of fried food. I admit I once was apart of that group, however I soon realised that if you like to bake foods too. Like I do, then the air fryer really cuts out a lot of the unnecessary fat.
Think of it, how do you typically bake chicken drumsticks or legs? If you are anything like me. You would place it on a pan in the oven and sometimes use a baking sheet to catch the grease. However with the air fryer it elevates the food and allows all that (FAT) to drip away.
Plus if you use the Gotham Air Fryer it is super simple to clean, I am talking hard sticky food at the bottom of the tray slides right off. No scrubbing at all is needed, it could not be more simpular guys.
Another reason I like the Gotham Air Fryer is because it cooks more food than the typical table top Air Fryers. Because it has a lot of space on that tray !
This one pan Chinese Eggs and Tomatoes are served for breakfast and dinner in most asian homes.
It is not only super simple to make it is also inexpensive and a healthy meal option. You can also find this popular dish on the menu at almost every chinese restaurants.
We have ordered it a few times, however once you learn to make it at home you can save yourself a lot of money.
Your sure to love this breakfast and probably will make it time and time again. Keep in mind you can make this more watery than I did, some restaurants will do that so you can enjoy it alongside a bowl of rice.
However if that is your plan, be sure to use a watery tomato such as beefsteak. Rather than the Roma that I have used in my recipe.
It is not only easy to make it’s also will give you the right amount of fuel to tackle the day. To prepare this dish you will simply want to start by dicing your tomatoes. Then breaking the eggs into a shallow dish to whisk into submission.
Once that is done you can heat the sesame oil up in a the pan or wok and stir fry the eggs, the bugger the egg pieces the better so do not break them up to much,
Next you will add in the tomatoes along with the salt and sugar and saute all together before serving.
Breakfast or Dinner, totally up to you!
Did you try this? I would love to hear about your favorite breakfast memories in the comments below. Till next time friends, see you in the kitchen 🙂

These Simple Swedish Meatballs are served over a bed of egg noodles in a creamy low fat sauce. A recipe that you and your family are sure to love.
WHO SELLS SWEDISH MEATBALLS
Costco does but so does President’s Choice.
So what does that mean? It means you can have creamy Swedish Meatballs on the table in less than 20 minutes!
That is the reason I call these Simple Swedish Meatballs because really there is no fuss when it comes to making this popular recipe.
You can literally have this whole dinner on the table in less than 30 minutes!
Making swedish meatballs this way becomes a weeknight meal savor if you ask me. Because instead of making these meatballs from scratch which take a fair bit of time and technique.
Your simply using some pre made meatballs that are fail proof and do not need to be baked.
Your going to love this really inexpensive dinner option, trust me
This recipe serves a family of four or you can use my easy to use recipe adjuster and make it for more people if you like.
Your family will think you where slaving in the kitchen all day making meatballs when really you were doing other important things 😉
Keep in mind those pre made meatballs come in a package that has 907 grams. I only used 650 grams of those meatballs and that alone feeds four people. So taking that into consideration this recipe is also frugal!
The brand that I like to use is President’s Choice Swedish Meatballs. You can use your favorite pre made meatballs of course and even opt for a chicken or a vegan variety, totally up to you.
Swedish Meatballs are the ultimate comfort food and typically are served overtop a bed of large egg noodles, however you can serve them over mash potatoes as well if desired.
I like to saute the meatballs in butter and oil first which helps bring out the flavor more.
Then I will use that same butter and oil to make a roux for the sauce that turns into the most delicious gravy ever.
Also since I typically just cook for me and my partner, I often tend to make dinner for two, three or four people. This recipe will feed four people easily and get this.
Are you cooking for a larger crowd? or perhaps having to provide something for an upcoming potluck?
Then this recipe is sure to be a hit and everyone would be think that you spent a lot of time at it.
If you have a little more time and want to make your meatballs from scratch, I recommend following this recipe for making Classic Baked Swedish Meatballs.
Just be aware that it does take some time and technique, as sometimes they do fall apart while searing them. So cooking them in the oven is best if you are to make them from scratch.
Go ahead and indulge you deserve it!
Note: You can add 1/2 cup of cream to this dish around the time you add in the beef stock if desired.
