Method

Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Ingredients

Chop the bacon, leeks, potatoes, carrots, celery, and garlic. Set aside.

2

Cook the Bacon

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

3

Sauté the Vegetables

In the same pot, add leeks, carrots, celery, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.

4

Add Potatoes and Clam Juice

Add diced potatoes to the pot and pour in the clam juice. Stir in bay leaves, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.

5

Add Seafood and Cream

Add fish fillets, shrimp, and chopped clams to the pot. Stir in the heavy cream and cook for another 5-10 minutes until the seafood is cooked through.

6

Finish and Serve

Stir in the reserved bacon, remove bay leaves, and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot.
