Jasper's New England Clam Chowder image

Jasper White is famous for Chowders. He has published a cookbook of just chowders. This is the pot of chowder served at our house our way, mostly on cold winter nights. It has none of the glue of flour, so is quite good for gluten-intolerant folks.

Time 45m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 slices bacon, diced
2 tablespoons butter
2 medium onions, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 stalks celery & leaves, minced
2 teaspoons dried thyme
2 bay leaves
2 lbs red potatoes, diced to 1/2 inch
3 (6 ounce) cans minced clams
32 ounces clam juice (bottles or cans)
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
white pepper (to taste)
2 tablespoons dried parsley (or fresh is nice)

Steps:

  • Heat 4 to 6 quartsized soup pot, over low heat.
  • Add diced bacon, rendering fat, cook til crisp, with slotted spoon, remove bacon and set aside.
  • Add butter to the bacon drippings in the soup pot, then add diced onions, garlic, celery, thyme and bay leaves. Saute, stirring occasionally with wooden spoon, until onions are softened, not brown, about 10 minutes.
  • Drain the canned clams, saving the liquid into the soup pot. Set the clams aside with the crisp bacon.
  • Add the diced potatoes and bottled clam juice to the soup pot. Total broth should just barely cover the potatoes, if it does not, add a little water. Cover and cook vigoriously about 10 minutes.
  • Mash cooked potatoes with a spoon against side of pot to thicken chowder.
  • Cook 1 to 2 minutes more,uncovered, to release the starch from the potatoes, which causes the chowder to thicken nicely.
  • Remove from heat. Add clams, bacon, and cream.
  • Season and add Parsley. Serve immediately.

I'm not a big fan of clam chowder, but this recipe was actually pretty good. I might make it again sometime.

This recipe is a bit too complicated for my taste. I prefer simpler recipes that are easier to follow.

I'm not sure what all the hype is about this recipe. It's just an average clam chowder. I've had better.

This recipe is a waste of time. The chowder was bland and tasteless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I've tried this recipe twice now and both times it's been a disaster. The chowder is always too watery and the clams are tough. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Made this for dinner last night and it was a big hit! The chowder was creamy and flavorful, and the clams were tender and juicy. I will definitely be making this again.

This is an excellent clam chowder recipe! It's easy to follow and the results are delicious. I especially love the addition of Old Bay seasoning, which gives the chowder a nice kick.

Wow, this clam chowder is amazing! I've tried many recipes before, but this one is definitely the best. The broth is rich and creamy, and the clams are tender and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again!
