Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Dice the potatoes, chop the onion and celery, and mince the garlic. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Clams

    If using fresh clams, steam them until they open, then chop. If using canned clams, drain and set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot over medium heat, add a splash of oil and sauté the chopped onion, celery, and minced garlic until translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add Potatoes and Broth

    Add the diced potatoes to the pot and pour in the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.

  3. 5

    Add Clams and Seasonings

    Stir in the chopped clams, bay leaves, thyme, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Simmer for an additional 10 minutes.

  4. 6

    Incorporate Cream

    Remove the bay leaves and slowly stir in the heavy cream. Allow the chowder to heat through for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Serving

  1. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Ladle the clam chowder into bowls, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, and serve with oyster crackers on the side.
