Ingredients

  • 1 C chicken stock
  • 2 potatoes, diced
  • 1/2 tsp. tarragon
  • 1 tsp. paprika
  • salt & pepper
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 1 stalk celery, chopped
  • 3 slices bacon, chopped
  • 1/2 C dry white wine
  • 1 C milk
  • 1/4 C butter
  • 1 1/2 C cleaned Periwinkles
  • 1/2 C light cream
  • pinch cayenne pepper

Directions

1

In a large soup pot, heat chicken stock, potatoes, tarragon, paprika, salt & pepper. Melt butter in a skillet, and lightly sauté the cleaned Periwinkle meat (see below), onion, celery, and bacon.

2

Add to stock mixture. Stir in wine and simmer until potatoes are cooked. Do not boil. Add milk and cream slowly, stirring constantly; do not boil or it will curdle. Add cayenne.

3

To clean Periwinkles: take a sauce pan full of water and throw in a small amount of salt. Bring to a boil and toss in the snails. Let them simmer for a few minutes, remove and use a toothpick to pull the meat from the shells. The salt water serves to both shrink and toughen the meat, making it easier to remove. Don’t boil them too long or you will end up with a very tough and chewy meal.
