FLORIDA KEYS CHOWDER
Initially, I was not going to post this recipe because I realize that everyone does not have access to Conch, BUT I have made this sea food chowder in many variations, with different kinds of sea food and it gets rave results every time. It is easy and fun to make!! You will need a food processor for this recipe, unless you like...

Steps:
- 1. You will need a 6 qt pot. With your food processor mince the following one at a time: The onion, the garlic, the green pepper, the red pepper and the carrots. You can mince your carrots less than the other ingredients if you like chunks of carrots in your soup.
- 2. Over medium heat, add the olive oil to your pot. Add the onions, carrots, red pepper, green pepper and garlic. Saute the veggies for about 8 minutes.
- 3. Add the tomato sauce, and diced tomatoes to the veggies. Turn stove to Low medium heat.
- 4. In a measuring cup, add the tomato paste to the cold water. Mix until tomato paste is diluted. Add to veggies and tomatoes in pot.
- 5. While these are all simmering together, add the salt, pepper,oregano, garlic powder, sugar and cayenne pepper.
- 6. If you are using Conch, make sure it is thawed out. Place the conch in a zip lock bag and hammer away at it, making it about 1/4 inch thick or less. You want to flatten it so that it starts to tear about. Place Conch in food processor and pulse for about 6 seconds, you want to still have lumpy pieces of conch but most of it should be minced. I take 1/2 of my conch and mince it really fine and the other half I mince less.
- 7. Cut your Shrimp into 4 pieces sideways, to make small chunks of shrimp.
- 8. If you are using any other sea food, such as lobster, or any white fish, cut them into small bite size pieces.
- 9. Add the uncooked sea food of your choice to the soup. Most of the time, I make mine with Conch and Shrimp. When I add Lobster It adds a more fish taste to it, so keep in mind that the lobster and fish will be more fishy tasting, but Oh so Good!!
- 10. Turn your heat to simmer, let the soup simmer covered, for about 2 hours (mixing and tasting so that you may add more salt and pepper and garlic to your liking) until all of the veggies are cooked through. The sea food will cook fairly fast, but not to worry all of the ingredients in the soup will not make the seafood chewy.
- 11. 30 Minutes before serving time, take the lid off the pot and let the soup thicken up a bit.. Throw some soup cracker over the top of the soup bowls and enjoy!!

Steps:
- Shellfish Cream: Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the scotch bonnet, shallots, and garlic. Stir. Let the vegetables flavor the oil (about 1 minute). Now add the clams, mussels, star anise, and black pepper. Stir. Now add the orange juice and cover the pot. Remove the clams and mussels as they open to a colander set over a bowl to catch the liquid (they start opening after about 3 minutes, just take them out as they open and cover the pot again and just keep checking for more open ones.) Reserve the shellfish and add the juices back to the pan.
- Allow the orange and shellfish juice to reduce, uncovered, until about 1 cup of liquid remains, about 10 minutes. Now add in the saffron, heavy cream, and coconut milk. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Be careful, cream can boil over in a split seconds. Reduce the cream until it will just barely coat the back of a spoon, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and strain. Discard the solids. Reserve the flavored cream.
- While the cream is reducing, removed the cooled mussels and clams from their shells. Reserve the meat and discard the shells.
- Vegetable Garnish: Put potatoes in a saucepot of lightly salted water. Bring to a boil and turn down heat and simmer until just done. Strain off the water. Reserve the potatoes.
- In a large heavy soup pot cook the bacon with the olive oil over medium-high heat until the bacon is halfway cooked. Add the butter and stir. Add the garlic and chiles and stir briefly. Add the rest of the vegetables except the potatoes and stir to coat. Add the salt and pepper, cilantro, and bay leaf. Cook until the vegetables are cooked, but still firm, about 8 minutes.
- Add the reserved potatoes, saffron cream, clams and mussels.
- Conch: Season the conch with salt and pepper. Dredge the conch in the flour, then the egg mixture, and then the panko. Place on a large plate or pan as they are coated. You can layer them if you separate the breaded pieces with waxed paper or plastic wrap.
- To finish the dish: Heat the soup until quite warm. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add enough canola oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Saute the conch, in batches, adding more oil as necessary, until nicely colored on both sides. Remove to a paper towel lined plate. Once the conch is all cooked, chop it into pieces. Ladle the soup into warm bowls and scatter the cooked conch over the soup. Garnish with orange sections, cilantro leaves, and toasted coconut.
BAHAMIAN CONCH CHOWDER
Steps:
- In a very large soup pot or Dutch oven, cook the bacon with olive oil over medium heat. When bacon is almost cooked, add garlic and jalapenos and cook for 30 seconds. Raise the heat to medium-high and add the onion, celery, carrots, fennel, and bell peppers. Add herbs, bay leaves, and crushed red pepper.
- Add the crushed tomatoes and tomato sauce. Bring to a simmer and reduce heat. Add the stock, stir in the ground conch and potatoes and bring to a simmer. Add hot red pepper sauce, to taste, and simmer for 10 minutes, then serve, or chill for later use.
AROMATIC BAHAMIAN CONCH CHOWDER
According to The Florida Keys Cookbook, where I found this recipe, the Bahamians held the conch in mystical regard, believing its consumption enhanced male potency. They brought the recipe with them when they immigrated to the Florida Keys.

BAHAMIAN CONCH CHOWDER
Conchs are quite popular in South Florida, as most there come from the Bahamas, were they are plentiful. If you cannot get frozen conchs, chopped clams may be substituted. If using chopped clams, add them at the last moment to keep them tender. The chowder is chunky, spicy, and robust with flavor - goes great with toasted bread rounds. Found recipe in, "The Whole Foods Market Cookbook."

FLORIDA CRACKER CONCH CHOWDER
My father-in-law shared this recipe with me and I knew I had been accepted into the family. This recipe has been passed down generation after generation. Back in the day, his family would camp on empty islands, fish all day and make chowder in the evening. It is delicious.
