Okay, so I’ve been seeing these Stanley cups everywhere, right? And I’m like, what’s the big deal? But then, I saw this recipe for clam chowder in a Stanley cup, and I was intrigued. I mean, soup in a thermos? It sounded kinda genius for a chilly day. So, I decided to give it a shot.
Getting Started
First, I gathered all my ingredients. I’m talking the usual suspects: potatoes, onion, celery, clams (canned, because who has time to shuck a million clams?), clam juice, bacon, and some heavy cream. I already have my own stanley cup.
The Cooking Process
I started by frying up some bacon in a pan. Crispy bacon is a must, you know? Once that was done, I took it out and sautéed the onion and celery in the bacon grease. Gotta get that flavor in there!
Next, I added the potatoes and clam juice and let it all simmer until the potatoes were soft. This took a little while, but it was mostly hands-off time.
- Tip: Chop the potatoes pretty small so they cook faster.
Then came the clams and the heavy cream. I stirred everything together and let it heat through. Oh, and I crumbled in the bacon, of course.
The Stanley Cup Test
Now for the fun part! I carefully poured the hot chowder into my Stanley cup. I made sure it was screwed on tight. No one wants a soup explosion.
The Results
It worked! The Stanley cup kept the chowder piping hot for hours. I took a walk and enjoyed a hot, delicious lunch. It felt very satisfying to eat homemade soup outside. Plus, it felt kind of trendy, I’m not gonna lie.
Would I do it again? Absolutely. It’s super convenient, and honestly, kind of fun. Plus, the cleanup is way easier than a bunch of pots and pans.
