Pd Clam Chowder Recipe

Chowder Preparation

1. 1

   Cook the Bacon

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

2. 2

   Sauté Vegetables

   In the same pot with the bacon fat, add the diced onion, garlic, and poblano pepper. Sauté over medium heat until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Add Potatoes and Corn

   Add the diced potatoes and corn kernels to the pot, stirring to combine with the sautéed vegetables. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.

4. 4

   Add Broth and Seasonings

   Pour in the chicken broth, and add the chopped clams, dried thyme, black pepper, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and let simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

5. 5

   Stir in Cream

   Once the potatoes are cooked, stir in the heavy cream and let the chowder heat through for another 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

6. 6

   Serve

   Ladle the chowder into bowls, and top with crispy bacon and croutons before serving.
