Clam Chowder

This yummy Clam Chowder recipe is made with milk and clam juice.  My kids love it served in little “bread bowls.”

clam chowder

Ingredients:

  • 3 slices bacon, diced
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cups diced potatoes
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • 8 ounces clam juice, (water from boiling clams) or 1 bottle clam juice (available in the supermarket)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 to 3 cups minced clams
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 2 cups half-and-half
  • 1 cup milk

Procedure:

1)  In a Dutch oven or heavy saucepan, cook bacon until crisp.  Remove bacon to paper towels with slotted spoon; drain.

2)  Add onion to bacon drippings; sauté until softened. Add potatoes, carrots, clam juice, salt, and pepper. Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until potatoes and carrots are tender. Remove from heat.

3)  Add minced clams with their liquid. Whisk flour into milk; add to chowder with half-and-half. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until clam chowder thickens and bubbles, or about 3 minutes.

    Hi there – I’m a regular Entrecard dropper and first time commentor. This recipe looks great, especially the bread bowls. Reminds me of the chowder I had in San Francisco. Yum!

    I always love going to the annual Clam Chowder festival held near me in Santa Cruz. I blogged about it this past year. Served in a bread bowl is oneo f the best ways to eat it!
