Time 1h26m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 lb bacon, diced
1 cup chopped leek
1 cup chopped yellow onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 carrot, peeled and diced
3 bay leaves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1/2 cup flour
1 lb white potato, peeled and medium diced
4 cups clam juice
2 cups heavy cream
2 lbs littleneck clams, shucked and chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • In a heavy stock-pot, over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until crisp, about 8 minutes.
  • Stir in the leeks, onion, celery, and carrots.
  • Saute for about 2 minutes or until the vegetables start to wilt.
  • Season the vegetables with salt and pepper.
  • Add the bay leaves and thyme.
  • Stir in the flour and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Add the potatoes.
  • Stir in the clam juice.
  • Bring the liquid up to a boil and reduce to a simmer.
  • Simmer the mixture until the potatoes are fork tender, about 12 minutes.
  • Add the heavy cream and bring up to a simmer.
  • Add the clams and simmer for 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the parsley.
  • Season with salt and pepper if needed.
  • Ladle into shallow bowls and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh clams. Fresh clams will give your chowder the best flavor. If you can't find fresh clams, you can use frozen clams, but be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Don't overcook the clams. Clams only need to be cooked for a few minutes, or they will become tough. Add them to the chowder towards the end of the cooking time.
  • Use a good quality clam juice. Clam juice is an important ingredient in clam chowder, so be sure to use a good quality brand. You can also make your own clam juice by simmering clam shells in water.
  • Season the chowder to taste. Clam chowder should be seasoned to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. Be careful not to over-season the chowder, or it will be too salty.
  • Serve the chowder hot. Clam chowder is best served hot, with a side of crackers or bread.

Conclusion:

Fall River 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. Whether you like your chowder thick or thin, with or without vegetables, Fall River clam chowder is sure to please everyone at your table.
