Chowder Ingredients

Method

Chowder Preparation

1

Cook the Bacon

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

2

Sauté the Vegetables

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

3

Add Potatoes and Clam Juice

Add the diced potatoes, clam juice, dried thyme, and black pepper to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes until the potatoes are tender.

4

Incorporate Clams and Cream

Stir in the chopped clams and heavy cream. Allow to simmer for another 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt as needed.

5

Finish and Serve

Stir in cooked bacon and chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot with crusty bread.
