Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Base

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

2

Sauté Vegetables

Add butter to the pot with the bacon drippings. Sauté the onions and celery until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for an additional minute.

3

Add Potatoes and Clam Juice

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

4

Incorporate Clams and Cream

Add the clams and heavy cream to the pot. Cook on low heat for about 5-10 minutes until heated through. Adjust seasoning as necessary.

5

Serve

Ladle the clam chowder into bowls and top with crumbled bacon, cheddar jack cheese, and chopped scallions if desired. Serve with oyster crackers or your choice of bread.
