Description

A creamy and rich clam chowder made with fresh ingredients.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Large Russet Potato
  • 1/4 cup Diced Onions
  • 1 tablespoon Butter
  • 1 tablespoon All Purpose Flour
  • 8 ounces Clam Juice
  • 6 ounces Chopped Clams
  • 8 ounces Heavy Cream
  • 8 ounces Water
  • 1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon White Pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Thyme

Instructions

  1. Peel the potatoes and dice them into small, bite-sized cubes.
  2. Add the potatoes, chopped onions and a little butter to a large pot or a Dutch oven.
  3. Sauté the vegetables over medium heat until the onions start to soften; then add some flour which will help to thicken the soup later on.
  4. Add the clam juice, water, clams, heavy cream and seasonings to the pot and mix well.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil; then reduce heat to low, cover the pot and allow to simmer for about 30-40 minutes until the soup thickens and the potatoes are fork tender.
