Chowder Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

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

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same pot, add butter, onion, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

  3. 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 let simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Clams and Cream

    Add the chopped clams and heavy cream to the pot. Stir well and let simmer for another 5-10 minutes until heated through.

  5. 5

    Stir in the cooked bacon, adjust seasoning if necessary, and serve hot.
