Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Chop the clams, dice the potatoes, onion, and celery, and dice the bacon into small pieces.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Cook the Bacon

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

  2. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same pot, add the chopped onion and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onion is translucent.

  3. 4

    Add Potatoes and Broth

    Add the diced potatoes to the pot, followed by the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

  4. 5

    Combine Clams and Cream

    Stir in the chopped clams, heavy cream, and milk. Add the dried thyme, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Allow the chowder to simmer for an additional 10 minutes.

  5. 6

    Finish and Serve

    Remove the bay leaf and stir in the cooked bacon. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
