1

Cook the Bacon

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

Add the chopped onion, celery, and garlic to the pot, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

3

Add Potatoes and Clam Juice

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

4

Add Clams and Cream

Stir in the clams, heavy cream, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until heated through.

Serve

Crumble the reserved bacon on top and serve hot. Enjoy your clam chowder!
