recipe from Alissa Cohen's book. It is very filling (almond mylk, avocado, raw corn & celtic sea salt)
I know a thing or two about N.E. clam chowder. So when I say this is fine San Diego chowder, it means that's it's possibly competition-level chowder. Which I believe it is.
Days like these when the fog rolls in early and the hedges around the house become enshrouded with a sort of sheer flannel whiteness always remind me of my childhood at the beach house; my windbreaker, my fisherman sweater, whistling wind, and hearty seafood lunches.
I heard that clam chowder is one of the famous foods in Fisherman's area, so I tried it. It's really delicious!

Slivers of Thai basil add complementary anise aromas to thick creamy crab corn chowder. Gilding the coconut-milk-laced-and-sweet-corn-spotted lily are aromatic fried shallots and briny shredded blue crab meat which provide an exotic textural contrast to the slurp-worthy soup.

First off, it's a good soup. Creamy, spicy, crabby... all good stuff. The bell pepper is a standout flavor. It's not *too* crabby, and the texture can't be beat. This recipe is adapted from Rachel Ray and I am wholly satisifed with the result. Very pretty. Very tasty.
But what I really want to talk about is oyster crackers. Today a friend asked me (regarding cooking), "Are you more interested in the process or the product?" I'm here to tell you, process is a big part of it for me. If the process is right, the product will follow. So many things that used to be produced are now simply procured. Candy corn, graham crackers, marshmallows... these are not found in the wild. These are *produced*. So goes the oyster cracker. A lowly garnish in loving hands becomes a thing of beauty.
So along with this soup recipe, I include a recipe for the stately oyster cracker. So easy to make an oyster could do it. I bet that's where the name comes from.
One more thing. The bowl you see in this picture is borrowed. Today a co-worker was sanding the bottoms of bowls and plates in the kitchen at work to keep them from scratching the tabletops. I know, right? With this one freshly sanded and stacked, it was suggested that in might look nice in one of my "soup pictures". I think they're right.
