Chowder Ingredients
Method
Chowder Preparation
Prepare the Clams
In a large pot, add the fresh clams and cover them with water. Bring to a boil and steam for about 5-7 minutes or until the clams open. Discard any unopened clams. Remove the clams from their shells and chop them coarsely. Reserve the clam juice.
Cook the Bacon
In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.
Combine Ingredients
Stir in the chopped clams, heavy cream, thyme, and season with salt and black pepper. Heat through for another 5 minutes.
