Clam Chowder Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Cook the Bacon

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

2. 2

   Sauté Vegetables

   In the same pot, add the chopped onion and celery to the bacon fat. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Add Potatoes and Broth

   Stir in the diced potatoes, chicken broth, thyme, and brown sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.

4. 4

   Add Clams and Cream

   Once the potatoes are tender, add the clams and heavy cream. Cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, allowing it to heat through.

5. 5

   Season and Serve

   Season the chowder with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with the crumbled bacon.
