Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped
2 onions, chopped
1 3/4 teaspoons dried thyme
4 cups bottled clam juice
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 white-skinned potatoes, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup whipping cream
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
1 pound bay scallops
Paprika

Steps:

  • Sauté bacon in heavy large saucepan over medium heat until crisp, about 6 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels and drain well. Drain all but 2 tablespoons bacon fat from saucepan. Add onions and thyme to same saucepan and sauté over medium-high heat until onions are light golden, about 10 minutes. Add 4 cups clam juice, 1/2 cup white wine and potatoes. Bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Add cream and half of bacon and bring to simmer. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to simmer before continuing.)
  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in heavy large skillet over high heat. Add half of scallops and sauté until light golden, about 2 minutes. Add scallops to chowder. Repeat with remaining butter and scallops. Season chowder to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Ladle chowder into bowls. Sprinkle with paprika and remaining bacon and serve immediately.

This chowder is a must-try! The scallops are cooked perfectly and the broth is creamy and flavorful. I love the addition of the corn and potatoes. They add a nice sweetness and texture to the chowder. It's the perfect comfort food for a cold night.

I was skeptical about making this chowder because I'm not a big fan of seafood. But I'm so glad I tried it! The scallops were tender and juicy, and the broth was rich and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.
