New England Clam Chowder
Servings: 6-8

INGREDIENTS
4 slices bacon, about 4 ounces, chopped
2 cups onion, diced
1 cup celery, diced
1 cup carrots, diced
⅓ cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon thyme
4 cans minced clams with juice
1½ cups chicken stock
2 potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 cups heavy cream
1 bay leaf
Oyster crackers for garnish

PREPARATION
Place a fine mesh strainer over a medium bowl and stain the 4 cans of minced clams, separating the meat from the juices.
Using a 6-quart dutch oven or pot of similar size, fry bacon over medium-high heat until fat renders and the edges begin to crip. Add onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Reduce heat to low and add carrots, celery and flour, stirring constantly for 3-5 minutes as to avoid lumps.
Add black pepper, thyme, reserved clam juices, chicken stock, diced potatoes, and bay leaf. Stir to incorporate, then cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and let cook until potatoes are tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
Remove bay leaf and add cream. Allow chowder to simmer for an additional 10-20 minutes until soup has thickened to an appropriate consistency.
Add in reserved clam meat and cook for an additional 2-4 minutes.
Remove from heat and serve with oyster crackers
Enjoy!

  1. Prepare yourself
    It’s a cold autumn evening and your having some delicious New England clam chowder, you get up and decide to make more. You finish making your extra soup and store it for tomarrow, and BAM Gordon Ramsay busts in and says your clam chowder is so raw, it’s still singing; Bob bob bob, bob bobby clam.

  2. So, I'm from germany and want to make a authentic NE Clam Chowder. The things I noticed about this recipe people criticized were; Remove carrots, needs to be thicker, more clam meat. Now I'd like to ask you guys if there's more to it (to make it as authentic as possible)?

  3. Thanks for the video! Been looking for something like this for so long, other videos are too much talking, mucking around, yari yari yara, just gimme the bloody recipe and cook the thing! 🙈🙈 But this one is straight forward, no mincing around, no trying to be funny. Appreciate it. I will try this recipe some day this week. 🤙

  4. how many liters or ml is cup, please? and there's no clam cans in my country, so I'll take more stock, so I need to know the volume of the juice also. thank you.

  5. I made this, but didn't listen when people said don't change anything. I added corn and while it didn't ruin it (I'm definitely saving it to make again) it wasn't quite clam chowder anymore. The corn took over.

    If you wanna try what I did I added the juice from 1 can of whole kernel corn along with the other liquids, then added the corn at the end with the clams. No oyster crackers because I don't like them, but I had cheddar on hand and toped it with that instead. No regrets about that part.

  6. Carrots and onions nope, a little celery would be O.K.. I'm wouldn't use chicken stock either. Chowder is supposed to be thick and creamy. Not runny like a soup which the stock would do. You can see that at the end product.

  7. bacon, onions, carrot, celery, potato, black pepper, thyme, bay leaf, cream, minced clams, etcetera. sorry, he is going too fast.

  8. Carrots; wrong. Not enough flour. Potatoes; way too big. Not fresh ground black pepper. No salt? Clams way too small. Make these changes and this would be great.
