Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

7 slices bacon, chopped (can use more)
1 onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh minced garlic (optional or to taste)
2 stalks celery, finely diced
1/2 cup dry white wine (or use chardonnay)
1 cup whipping cream (unwhipped)
1 cup full-fat milk
2 (5 ounce) cans clams (save the juice!)
1 large bay leaf
1 teaspoon dried thyme (rubbed between fingers to release the flavors)
1 small russet potato, peeled and grated
1 1/2 cups evaporated milk
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
salt
pepper (lots of pepper!)

Steps:

  • In a heavy-bottomed pot brown the bacon, then add in onions, celery, thyme, bay leaf and garlic (if using); saute for about 4 minutes.
  • Add in wine, whipping cream, milk and the juice from the clams (save the clams to add in the end).
  • Add in the grated potato; bring to a slow simmer and cook for about 20 minutes until the grated potato softens, releases the starches and thickens the chowder base.
  • Add in the reserved clam meat, evapoated milk and chopped parsley; bring to JUST a simmer and remove from heat.
  • Season with salt and lots of black pepper.
  • Delicious!

I found this chowder to be bland. I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to make it taste good.

This chowder is too thick for my taste. I would add more liquid next time.

I'm not a fan of the celery in this recipe. I think it takes away from the flavor of the clams.

This chowder is a great way to use up leftover clams. It's also a great meal to serve on a cold winter day.
