Categories     Chowders

Time 1h15m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 dozen chowder clams
6 slices bacon
1 1/2 cups chopped onions
1 cup chopped green pepper
1 1/2 cups chopped carrots
1 cup chopped celery
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes (I prefer Red Pack)
3 cups water
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
4 potatoes, cubed
1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 lb cooked jumbo shrimp (add this to make the chowder really great) (optional)

Steps:

  • Steam clams in a large pot and reserve the liquid that is left- it should measure about 3+ cups.
  • Chop the clams.
  • In a large pot, cook the bacon over medium/high heat until slightly crisp.
  • Add the onions and cook, stirring until transparent.
  • Add the pepper, carrot and celery and cook for about a minute.
  • Add the clams, tomatoes, clam liquid, water, bay leaf, thyme ground pepper.
  • Bring to a boil and add potatoes.
  • Simmer 30 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
  • Remove the bay leaf. Add chopped parsley.
  • Add the cooked shrimp now if you plan to use them, but do not continue to cook or the shrimp will get tough.
  • You should only warm the shrimp over for best results.
  • Season with salt and pepper, if desired.

This chowder was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more spices next time.

This chowder was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll try using less salt next time.
