Ingredients

Method

Directions

1

Cook the Bacon

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

2

Sauté the Vegetables

In the same pot, add the diced onion, celery, and carrots. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they start to soften. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

3

Add Potatoes and Clam Juice

Stir in the diced potatoes, tomato paste, clam juice, thyme, and bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

4

Add Clams and Cream

Once the potatoes are tender, add the clams (with their juice) and heavy cream. Stir well and let it cook for another 5 minutes to heat through.

5

Season and Serve

Remove the bay leaf and season the chowder with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with crumbled bacon and chopped parsley.
