Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 oz bacon, 4 slices, chopped
2 cups onion, diced
1 cup celery, diced
1 cup carrot, diced
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
4 cans minced clam, with juice
1 ½ cups chicken stock
2 potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 cups heavy cream
1 bay leaf
oyster cracker, for garnish

Steps:

  • Place a fine mesh strainer over a medium bowl and strain the 4 cans of minced clams, separating the meat from the juices.
  • Using a 6-quart dutch oven or pot of similar size, fry bacon over medium-high heat until fat renders and the edges begin to crisp.
  • Add onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low and add carrots, celery and flour, stirring constantly for 3-5 minutes to avoid lumps.
  • Add black pepper, thyme, reserved clam juices, chicken stock, diced potatoes, and bay leaf. Stir to incorporate, then cover and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to a simmer and let cook until potatoes are tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Remove bay leaf and add cream. Allow chowder to simmer for an additional 10-20 minutes until soup has thickened to an appropriate consistency.
  • Add in reserved clam meat and cook for an additional 2-4 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and serve with oyster crackers
  • Enjoy!
