Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 pound bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 medium onion, chopped
3 celery stalks, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
1 teaspoon garlic powder
3 large russet potatoes (about 2 pounds), peeled, diced
2 8-ounce bottles clam juice
2 6 1/2-ounce cans chopped clams, drained, juices reserved
1 cup water
1 cup half and half
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Sauté bacon in heavy large Dutch oven over medium heat until light brown and most of the fat is rendered. Drain off all but 2 tablespoons fat. Add onion, celery, carrots and garlic powder to Dutch oven and sauté until onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Add potatoes, clam juice, reserved juices from chopped clams and water. Bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Add clams and half and half and simmer 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

The chowder was a bit too thick for my liking. I'll add more milk next time.

This chowder is a bit too salty for my taste. I'll reduce the amount of salt next time.

I'm allergic to clams, so I used shrimp instead. It was still very good.

I added a cup of corn to the chowder and it was delicious. It gave it a nice sweetness.

I'm not a big fan of bacon, so I omitted it from the recipe. It was still delicious.
