Chowder Ingredients

Method

Chowder Preparation

1

Cook Bacon

In a large pot, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and let it drain on paper towels. Leave the bacon fat in the pot.

2

Sauté Vegetables

Add butter to the pot with the bacon fat, then add the onion and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.

3

Cook Potatoes

Add the diced potatoes and clam juice. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.

4

Add Clams and Cream

Stir in the clams, heavy cream, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

5

Finish and Serve

Crumble the cooked bacon and stir it into the chowder. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
