My first attempt at clam chowder.

This soup is delicious and creamy.

You can't go wrong with bacon and potatoes! It doesn't get any better than this and I'll never eat the canned stuff again.

New England Clam Chowder
Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

8 oz of canned clams (save the juice)
1 small onion chopped
3 slices of bacon chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 potatoes diced
1 1/2 cups milk
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon dry thyme
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 heaping teaspoon flour
salt & pepper
fresh or dry parsley for garnish

Directions

In a non stick pot, brown onions & bacon in oil.
Add potatoes and stir.
Add the saved clam juice (however much is in the can), and the milk. Stir well.
Simmer until the potatoes are tender, 10 minutes or so.
Add the clams and cook for 10 more minutes.
With a fork, beat the flour into the cream until the lumps are gone. Add some of the hot soup liquid to the cream and stir. Pour the flour mixture into the pot. It should thicken slightly but not too much.
At the last minute remove the bay leaf and add the parsley. Serve hot!

Update: 1/28/2011 - Since I posted the recipe, I've tried something new with this soup and found that adding a small bottle (about 1 cup) of clam juice more to the soup makes it even better. And what would an update be without another picture?
