Instructions

1

Prepare the Base

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

2

Add the Flour

Sprinkle the flour over the softened vegetables and stir constantly for about 2-3 minutes to cook the flour.

3

Add Liquids

Gradually whisk in the clam juice, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring to a simmer.

4

Add Potatoes

Add the diced potatoes, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.

5

Incorporate Clams and Cream

Stir in the chopped clams and heavy cream. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, but do not boil.

6

Finish and Serve

Remove the bay leaf and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
