Creamy New England-Style Clam Chowder with Tender Potatoes and Smoky Bacon

Ingredients:

4 slices bacon, chopped

1 tablespoon butter

1 small onion, finely diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 cups clam juice

1 cup chicken broth

1 ½ cups heavy cream

2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced

2 cans (6.5 oz each) chopped clams, drained (reserve juice)

1 bay leaf

½ teaspoon dried thyme

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions:

In a large pot over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving about 1 tablespoon of bacon fat in the pot.

Add butter, diced onion, and garlic to the pot. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Sprinkle in the flour and stir continuously for 1–2 minutes to create a roux.

Gradually whisk in clam juice (including reserved juice from canned clams) and chicken broth, stirring until smooth.

Add diced potatoes, bay leaf, and thyme. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 12–15 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender.

Stir in heavy cream and chopped clams. Simmer for an additional 3–5 minutes, avoiding a boil to keep the chowder creamy.

Remove bay leaf. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Ladle into bowls, garnish with crispy bacon and chopped parsley, and serve hot.
