Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 -6 1/2 ounces chopped clams, liquid reserved
24 ounces bottled clam juice
4 ounces diced prosciutto (or chopped bacon)
1 large yellow onion
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 medium red potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 large bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley leaves
salt
white pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • In a large soup pot, brown prosciutto, or bacon over medium-low heat until crisp.

  • Bring to a simmer and serve immediately.
  • (You may substitute any type of shellfish, or even fish for the clams in this recipe.).

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your chowder will taste. This is especially true for the seafood, vegetables, and herbs.
  • Don't overcook the seafood: Seafood cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and chewy.
  • Use a good quality stock: The stock is the base of your chowder, so it's important to use a good quality one. You can use a store-bought stock or make your own.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to taste your chowder as you're cooking it and adjust the seasonings accordingly. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or other spices to taste.
  • Serve with crusty bread or crackers: Chowder is a hearty soup that's perfect for a cold day. Serve it with crusty bread or crackers for a complete meal.

Chowder is a delicious and versatile soup that can be made with a variety of ingredients.
