Wegmans Clam Digger Potato Chowder
RECIPE BY: Andi of Longmeadow Farm
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!

Delicious and warming! I used fresh thyme and chicken stock. I can't wait to try this really simple formula using fresh clams and the broth resulting from Bergy's Garlic Steamed Clams. Thanks, Andi!

Oh my dear Andi, I just knew this would be a winner. This is the first time I've ever made homemade clam chowder, one of my favortites and this was super easy and tasted rich and wonderful even though it wasn't loaded with fat and calories. Okay my "changes" I used about 2t of olive oil instead of bacon drippings. Then added 1/4 c bacon bits to the potatoes and onions. I used 1 c. clam juice and 1 c water. and then I used 1 12 oz can fat-free evaporated milk instead of whole milk. Very good and warmed us up on a cold rainy afternoon.

This is soooo quick and soooo delicious! The clams I bought were "minced", but still tasty. Love the addition of the thyme, Andi. Wonderful lunch on Feb. 4th-National Soup Day! Made for Holiday tag and for Nat'l Clam Chowder Day, too.
