Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound russet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
3 celery stalks, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 cup all purpose flour
6 8-ounce bottles clam juice
4 6 1/2-ounce cans chopped clams with juices
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme or 1/4 teaspoon dried
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh marjoram or 1/4 teaspoon dried
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh dill or 1/4 teaspoon dried dillweed
1/4 teaspoon powdered garlic
1/8 teaspoon liquid smoke*
2 cups whipping cream
1 cup whole milk
*Liquid smoke is a smoke-flavored liquid seasoning available at specialty foods stores and many supermarkets.

Steps:

  • Boil potatoes in large saucepan of salted water until just tender, about 6 minutes. Drain potatoes well.
  • Melt butter in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add celery and onion and sauté until onion is translucent, about 6 minutes. Add flour and stir 2 minutes. Gradually mix in clam juice. Simmer until beginning to thicken, stirring frequently, about 2 minutes. Add clams with juices, parsley, thyme, marjoram, dill, garlic, liquid smoke and potatoes. Simmer 5 minutes to blend flavors. Add cream and milk. Bring to simmer. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to simmer before serving.)

I'm not sure about the smoked paprika. I think I'll try it without it.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my chowder turned out too thin. I think I'll add more flour next time.

This chowder is a bit too smoky for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less smoked paprika.

This chowder is a seafood lover's dream! The clams are tender and flavorful, and the smoky bacon adds a delicious depth of flavor. I also love the addition of corn and potatoes, which make this chowder hearty and filling.
