Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup butter
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 (6 1/2 ounce) cans minced clams, drained with juice reserved
2 potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan over medium high heat, combine the butter, celery and onion. Saute for about 3 minutes, add the flour and stir well to make a dry roux. Add the reserved clam juice to make a paste, then slowly add enough cold water to reach the desired thickness.
  • Add the potatoes, milk, thyme and salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low and allow soup to simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Add the clams and allow to heat through.

I'm not sure why this recipe calls for so much butter. It's a bit too rich for my taste.

I'm not a fan of Canadian bacon, so I used regular bacon instead. Still delicious!

I'm allergic to clams, so I used shrimp instead. It turned out great!

This clam chowder is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my clam chowder turned out bland. I'll have to try it again.
