Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

24 quahog clams (about 8 pounds), scrubbed
5 ounces slab bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small onion, diced
2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
1 1/2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Freshly ground white pepper
Chopped fresh parsley, for topping (optional)

Steps:

  • Rinse the clams several times under cold running water. Transfer to a large pot and add 3 1/2 cups water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then cover and cook until the clams open, about 8 minutes. Remove the clams with a slotted spoon and transfer to a deep bowl as they open; cover with plastic wrap so they don't dry out. Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl. Wipe out the pot, then pour the strained broth back into the pot.
  • Meanwhile, put the bacon in a large skillet and cover with about 2 inches of water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook 10 minutes; drain, then return the bacon to the skillet. Add 1 tablespoon butter and cook until the bacon starts to brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer the bacon to the pot with the broth. Wipe out the skillet. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, the onion and celery to the skillet and cook over medium heat until the onion is translucent, about 6 minutes.
  • Add the onion and celery mixture to the broth along with the potatoes. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until the potatoes are tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and 1/2 teaspoon white pepper.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, remove the clams from their shells and roughly chop.
  • Add the clams to the soup and cook until heated through, about 1 minute. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with chopped parsley.

This chowder was a total disaster! The broth was watery and flavorless, and the clams were rubbery. I had to throw the whole thing out.

This chowder was just okay. The broth was a little too salty for my taste, and the clams were a bit gritty. I probably won't make this again.

I wasn't a big fan of this chowder. The broth was bland and the clams were tough. I think I'll stick to my old clam chowder recipe.

This chowder was a bit too thick for my taste, but the flavor was still good. I think I would add a little more milk or water next time to thin it out.

I made this chowder for my family last night and they loved it! The broth was so flavorful and creamy, and the clams were tender and juicy. I will definitely be making this again.

This chowder is delicious! The broth is rich and creamy, and the clams are tender and flavorful. I love the addition of bacon and corn, which gives the chowder a nice smoky and sweet flavor. I will definitely be making this again!

This is my go-to clam chowder recipe. It's easy to make and always turns out great. The broth is creamy and flavorful, and the clams are always tender. I love adding a little bit of chopped parsley at the end for a pop of color and flavor.

I've made this chowder several times now and it's always a winner. The broth is so rich and flavorful, and the clams are always tender and juicy. I love serving this with a side of crusty bread to soak up all the delicious broth.

The flavors in this chowder are amazing! The clams are cooked perfectly and the broth is creamy and delicious. I added a little extra Old Bay seasoning to give it a bit of a kick. My family loved it!
