Clam Chowder Recipe #223513
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!
50 min | 15 min prep
SERVES 4 -6
- 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)
- 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.
