Cockle Soup

Cockles are a popular ingredient in the Emerald Isle and are found in both restaurants and pubs. You can substitute different types of clam if cockles are not available in your area.

Ingredients

40 cockles

2 tablespoons butter

1 onion, sliced thinly

3 tablespoons flour

2 cups milk

2 celery stalks, sliced thinly

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

1/2 cup light cream

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Thoroughly wash cockles, place in pot and cover with water. Bring to boil, cook until cockles open up, remove from heat and allow to cool. Remove cockles using slotted spoon and retain liquid. Remove meat from cockles, set aside and discard shells. In large pot, melt butter over medium low heat, add onions, and cook until tender, approximately 10 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of flour at a time, stirring until well mixed, and cook for 1 minute. Add milk to retained liquid and stir. Slowly add mixture to pot, stirring. Add celery and cook for 6 minutes. Add parsley and season with salt and pepper. Bring to boil and then reduce to medium low heat and simmer for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add cockle meat to pot, cook for 2 minutes, add cream, stir well and ladle into bowls. Garnish with parsley.
