Base Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Clean the Clams

    Rinse the clams under cold water to remove any sand and grit. Discard any that are open and do not close when tapped.

  2. 2

    Chop Vegetables

    Dice the onion, celery, and chop the potatoes into small cubes.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Clams

    In a large pot, add the cleaned clams and clam juice. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until the clams open. Remove the clams from the pot and set aside. Strain the clam juice and set it aside as well.

  2. 4

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they are soft and translucent.

  3. 5

    Add Potatoes and Seasonings

    Add the chopped potatoes, thyme, bay leaf, and the strained clam juice to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

  4. 6

    Finish with Cream

    Once the potatoes are cooked, stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 5 minutes on low heat.

  5. 7

    Add Clams

    Remove the pot from heat and stir in the cooked clams. Let it sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
