I’m sorry, did you see this? It’s freakin’ New England Clam Chowder. CLAM CHOWDER! Gah! When ever I say the words “Clam Chowder”, two things happen: 1. I have to immediately quote Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and say, “Password?”, “New England Clam Chowder”, “Is that the red or the white?”, “Damn I can never remember that!” and then 2. I immediately start thinking of thick creamy soup inside of a warm soft bread bowl. Yes, I said the “B” word. Don’t worry though because you are about to be so happy that you took time out of your day to read this blog post. Mostly for the Ace Ventura memories, but mainly because I’m giving you this New England Clam Chowder recipe AND telling you where you can get a Paleo Bread Bowl recipe to go with it. Go ahead, love me. Actually, you should probably just pass Go, do not collect $200, and go straight to loving my girl Simone Miller of Zenbelly! This recipe is from her AMAZING new book, Paleo Soups & Stews: Over 100 Delectable Recipes for Every Season, Course, and Occasion. Is your mouth already watering? Mine is.
So I actually first met Simone from Zenbelly last September when I was on book tour with Juli from PaleOMG. Simone came out to our San Francisco signing with Diane Sanfilippo (Balanced Bites/Practical Paleo). We all got together to eat tacos before the signing at Mamacita in San Francisco. I sat next to Simone and we had great conversation about how much tacos rule, how much booze rules, and I asked her all kinds of questions about her really cool catering business. She runs Zenbelly, a completely Paleo and Gluten-Free catering company in San Francisco! How cool is that?!
So besides this New England Clam Chowder (Ace Ventura voice) and the Bread Bowl recipe that you NEED to make to go with it, check out what else you can find in Simone’s new book Paleo Soups & Stews: everything from refreshing cold soups like gazpacho and summer borscht to savory pureed soups like Moroccan carrot and wild mushroom bisque to hearty options like matzo ball soup and pork chile verde. It even includes dessert soups and cookies to pair them with, like roasted plum soup with cinnamon roll cookies and chocolate soup with graham cracker marshmallow dippers. Yes, do not adjust your screen, you read that right. CHOCOLATE SOUP! Confession time, sometimes I melt chocolate chips in a bowl and eat it like soup. Don’t judge. And don’t be like this Vanessa (Directv commercial voice), get Simone’s book and make the real deal…
You guys I really, really like this book. I think it’s got a ton of recipes that you’ll want to get into your weekly line up as well as recipes that you’ll want to have on hand for Holidays and special occasions. I’m always excited to see Simone’s new recipes when she posts them on Social Media. She has this Everything Dough on her website that you can use for ANYTHING, from Cinnamon Rolls to Burger Buns! Her breads excite me. I’m dying to make some Cinnamon Rolls from Simone’s Everything Dough topped with an Orange Icing Glaze like those bastard Pillsbury ones that you buy in the pop-cans. This blog post is starting to go down a strange and dark path…So I’ll just leave you here with this recipe for New England Clam Chowder and an astounding Two Whisks Up review from me for Simone’s new book!
