Clam Chowder Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Bacon

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

2. 2

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In the same pot, add the chopped onion and celery to the bacon fat. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

3. 3

   Add Potatoes and Broth

   Stir in the diced potatoes, chicken broth, and thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.

4. 4

   Incorporate Clams and Cream

   Once the potatoes are tender, add the chopped clams and heavy cream to the pot. Stir well and heat through without boiling.

5. 5

   Season and Serve

   Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with crispy bacon and chopped parsley.
