Clam Chowder Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

1

Prepare the Ingredients

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

2

Sauté Vegetables

In the same pot, add the chopped onion, celery, and carrots. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

3

Add Potatoes and Broth

Add the diced potatoes and chicken broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

4

Incorporate Clams and Tomatoes

Stir in the chopped clams, diced tomatoes, and season with salt and black pepper. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes.

5

Finish with Cream

Slowly stir in the heavy cream and allow the chowder to heat through. Do not boil. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

6

Serve

Garnish the chowder with crispy bacon and fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your delicious clam chowder!
