# How to Make New England Clam Chowder Recipe: Step-by-step
**Step 1- Cook the Bacon:** In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until crispy and the fat has rendered, about 8-10 minutes. Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, reserving the bacon drippings in the pot.
**Step 2- Sauté the Aromatics:** Add the chopped onion and celery to the bacon drippings in the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and the onions are translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, being careful not to burn the garlic.
