Chowder Recipe

Chowder Preparation

1. 1

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Add Potatoes and Broth

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

3. 3

   Thicken the Soup

   In a small bowl, mix the flour with a bit of the broth to create a slurry. Stir this into the pot to help thicken the chowder.

4. 4

   Add Cream and Seasonings

   Stir in the heavy cream, clams, salt, black pepper, thyme, and bay leaf. Heat through but do not boil. Adjust seasonings to taste.

5. 5

   Serve

   Remove the bay leaf before serving. Ladle the chowder into bowls and enjoy!
