Newport Clam Chowder Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Clams

   Rinse the fresh clams under cold water to remove any sand or debris. Place them in a large pot with enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let simmer until the clams open (about 5-7 minutes). Discard any clams that do not open.

2. 2

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent (about 5 minutes).

3. 3

   Add Potatoes and Clam Juice

   Add the diced potatoes to the pot and pour in the clam juice. Bring to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender (about 15 minutes).

4. 4

   Combine Ingredients

   Once the potatoes are tender, add the cooked clams (remove from shells if desired), heavy cream, and fresh dill. Stir to combine and let heat through (about 5 minutes).

5. 5

   Season and Serve

   Season the chowder with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with additional fresh dill if desired.
