Time 6h45m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 onion, chopped
2 celery ribs, sliced
2-3 oz pancetta or lean bacon, finely diced
1/4 c all purpose flour
1 1/2 c cold water
2 c half and half
1 1/4 lb russet baking potatoes ( about 4 medium) peeled and cut into small cubes
3/4 tsp dried thyme leaves
2 - 6 oz cans chopped or minced clams
1/4to 1/2 tsp season salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. In a crock pot, combine the onion, celery, and pancetta.
  • 2. Whisk the flour into 1/2 cup of cold water. Stir into the vegetables in the crock pot. Stir in the remaining cup of water and add the potatoes and thyme.
  • 3. Drain the liquid from the clams into the cooker; reserve the clams in the refrigerator. Cover and cook on low heat setting about 6 hours, stirring once or twice, if possible, until the potatoes are tender, but not mushy and falling apart.
  • 4. Increase the heat to high. Stir in the reserved clams, half-and-half, seasoned salt, and pepper. Cook, uncovered, on high 30 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve hot, garnished with sprinkling of parsley, pancetta,bacon or cheese.

Tips:

  • Use fresh clams whenever possible. Fresh clams will give your chowder the best flavor.
  • If you can't find fresh clams, use frozen clams instead. Frozen clams are a good substitute for fresh clams, but they will not have as much flavor.
  • Rinse the clams thoroughly before using them. This will help to remove any sand or grit.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your chowder. This will give your chowder more flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcook the chowder. Overcooked chowder will be tough and chewy.
  • Serve the chowder with crusty bread or crackers. This will help to soak up the delicious broth.

Conclusion:

Clam chowder is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious clam chowder that your family and friends will love.
