Wegman's Delicious, Spunky, Clammy Chowda! Longmeadow image

We are so lucky to have this wonderful grocery store here in Maryland. Saw this recipe on the back of Wegmans 5 pound potato sack, and had to try it. I found it delicious, and perfect for a warm Sunday dinner, or anytime during the week for that matter. I had everything on hand, so that made it even easier. *Note* -- any changes I made or mentioned are noted in the ( ) area. I hope you enjoy this, as much as we do on the farm. Now if I can just figure out how to grow clams!

Time 50m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 slices bacon, cut into 1/2 inch pieces (I use 1 slice of bacon)
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cups clam juice (I use chicken stock)
4 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 (6 1/2 ounce) chopped clams, undrained
1 cup whole milk (or cream, I use 1% milk)

Steps:

  • In a heavy bottom soup pot, cook bacon on LOW until crisp. Remove bacon and drain off all but 1 tablespoon bacon drippings.
  • Add onion to pot, stir and cook until limp and golden, about 3 minutes.
  • Add bacon, clam juice (or chicken stock), potatoes, and thyme. Simmer, covered; stirring occasionally until potatoes are soft, about 20 minutes.
  • Add clams and milk; simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
