Cooking Instructions
- 1
Cut root and dark green from leeks. Cut in half lengthwise and thinly slice. Add to large bowl of cold water. Swish around to clean out the dirt and sand. Remove from water with slotted spoon.
- 2
Chop celery and carrot into fine dice. Cut corn from cob. Peel and chop potatoes into small 1/2" dice. Put potatoes in cold water until ready to use.
- 3
Add bacon to pot and cook on med-low until crisp. Remove for later garnish and save drippings in pot.
- 4
To the bacon grease add butter, leeks, carrots and celery. Cook until soft - about 10 minutes.
- 5
Add flour and cook 1-2 minutes. Add clam juice and liquid from strained clams. Turn heat to medium and bring to boil.
- 6
Add potatoes, corn, bay leaves, thyme, parsley, black pepper and cayenne pepper. I did not add salt because the bacon, clam juice and clams had sufficient salt. Taste and add salt if needed.
- 7
When potatoes are fork tender, turn heat back to med-low. Add clams and heavy cream. Heat 5-10 minutes. Remove bay leaves before serving.
- 8
Serve with reserved bacon for garnish. Enjoy!

New England Clam Chowder Stuck in the Midwest New England Clam Chowder Stuck in the Midwest
I'm half "New Englander", on my dad's side, and as such I LOVE a good clam chowder, but alas I am stuck in the Midwest and there isn't a good, fresh clam in sight.And CANNED clam chowder? Please don't get me started on that abomination! 😂A good clam chowder should be thick, and creamy. And if there isn't at least a little clam in nearly every bite it ain't worth it.Now, nothing beats a chowder with fresh clams, but if you're like me and stuck where truly fresh seafood is a rarity (or outrageously expensive) you'll appreciate the flavors of this chowder. Better yet, you'll truly appreciate what little effort it takes to prepare! StephieCanCook -

Quick Clam Chowder Quick Clam Chowder
I live in the New England area and there are many delicious chowder restaurants. I tried to make this chowder taste closest to the restaurant that makes me think, "This place is delicious." I can make this dish quickly whenever I want with canned clams, so it is very easy and economical.You can taste the strong flavor of wine, so if you do not like wine, use less of it. Usually there are no carrots in New England Clam Chowder, but I used them since I prefer the taste. The soup will be delicious if you add other vegetables you like such as corn. If you have leftovers, you can toss with pasta for a delicious pasta dish. Recipe by Chikichikichiki-ta cookpad.japan
