Categories     Chowders

Time 6h45m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 onion, chopped
2 celery ribs, sliced
2-3 oz pancetta or lean bacon, finely diced
1/4 c all purpose flour
1 1/2 c cold water
2 c half and half
1 1/4 lb russet baking potatoes ( about 4 medium) peeled and cut into small cubes
3/4 tsp dried thyme leaves
2 - 6 oz cans chopped or minced clams
1/4to 1/2 tsp season salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. In a crock pot, combine the onion, celery, and pancetta.
  • 2. Whisk the flour into 1/2 cup of cold water. Stir into the vegetables in the crock pot. Stir in the remaining cup of water and add the potatoes and thyme.
  • 3. Drain the liquid from the clams into the cooker; reserve the clams in the refrigerator. Cover and cook on low heat setting about 6 hours, stirring once or twice, if possible, until the potatoes are tender, but not mushy and falling apart.
  • 4. Increase the heat to high. Stir in the reserved clams, half-and-half, seasoned salt, and pepper. Cook, uncovered, on high 30 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve hot, garnished with sprinkling of parsley, pancetta,bacon or cheese.

Tips:

- Use Fresh Clams: Fresh clams yield the best flavor and texture for chowder. If using canned clams, drain and rinse them thoroughly before adding them to the pot. - Sauté the Vegetables: Sautéing the vegetables in butter before adding them to the slow cooker helps to enhance their flavor and create a richer broth. - Use a Variety of Potatoes: Using a combination of potatoes, such as Yukon Gold and russet potatoes, gives the chowder a more complex texture and flavor. - Add Corn and Bacon: Corn and bacon are classic additions to clam chowder that add sweetness, smokiness, and texture. - Season Generously: Don't be shy with the seasonings. Clam chowder should have a well-balanced flavor with plenty of salt, pepper, and herbs. - Cook on Low: Cooking the chowder on low heat for an extended period allows the flavors to meld and develop. - Serve with Crusty Bread or Crackers: Clam chowder is traditionally served with crusty bread or crackers for dipping.
