Instructions
Cook pancetta in a large Dutch oven over medium heat, stirring frequently, 5 minutes or until crispy.
Remove pancetta from pan, and drain on a paper towel; set aside.
Heat oil in same pan; add onion, and cook, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes or until tender.
Add celery and bell pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, 5 more minutes.
Add garlic, and cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute.
Add clam juice, broth, potato, and reserved corncobs to Dutch oven, and bring to a low boil; reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, 25 minutes or until potato is tender. Mash a small amount of potato to help thicken soup to desired consistency.
Remove corncobs, and discard.
Add corn kernels, clams, sea salt, and pepper, and increase heat to medium-high; cook 7 minutes or just until clams open.
Remove from heat, and stir in parsley and chives; add more sea salt and pepper, if desired. To serve, divide clams evenly among individual bowls, and spoon soup over the clams. Top with pieces of crispy pancetta, and serve immediately.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Muscadet, Riesling
Chardonnay, Muscadet, and Riesling are my top picks for Clams. Buttery chardonnay is great for scallops, shrimp, crab, and lobster, while muscadet is a classic pick for mussels, oysters, and clams. If you've got some spice in your shellfish, a semi-dry riesling can balance out the heat. You could try La Crema Russian River Chardonnay. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 28 dollars per bottle.
La Crema Russian River Chardonnay
On the nose are citrus tones, with green apple, pineapple and floral aromas accentuated by caramel and hazelnut traces. The bright fruit and crisp acidity typical of the Russian River appellation are apparent in the mouth, with lemon-lime components and concentrated pear notes, offset by a lingering apple and spice finish.
