Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Chop the onion, celery, and dice the potatoes into small cubes.

  2. 2

    Open the Canned Clams

    Drain the clams and reserve the juice to use in the chowder.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery, sautéing until they are soft, about 5 minutes.

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

  3. 5

    Once the potatoes are tender, add the drained clams, heavy cream, milk, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Serving
