Chowder Ingredients

1 cup clams or haddock (fresh or canned)

2 slices bacon

1 medium onion (chopped)

1 stalk celery (chopped)

1 medium potato (diced)

1 clove Garlic (minced)

2 cups Chicken broth

1 cup Heavy cream

1 tsp thyme (dried)

to taste Celtic sea salt

to taste black pepper

1 tbs parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Method

Chowder Preparation

1

Cook the Bacon

In a large pot, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the pot and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the pot.

2

Sauté the Vegetables

Add the chopped onion and celery to the pot with the bacon fat. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute.

3

Add Potatoes and Broth

Stir in the diced potato, then pour in the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes.

4

Add Clams or Haddock

Once the potatoes are tender, add the clams or haddock to the pot along with the heavy cream and dried thyme. Simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

5

Season and Serve

Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Crumble the cooked bacon and stir it back into the chowder. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley.
