Directions:
- I don't know what the Progresso Clam Chowder is like, but if you like thick,
- Tasty clam chowder, this recipe is the one I use. When I say large can I
- Mean the one that is maybe 2 qts. It's not the little can. I don't
- Currently have one so I can be sure what size it is. This is pretty thick.
- I think cooking the potatoes in the drained clam juice really adds to the
- Flavor.

- [Note: this is a wing-it recipe . lately I've been using a stalk
- Or so of celery diced into small pieces. Make sure you use GOOD thick
- Bacon. I like the maple flavored stuff from sams club.] I think the maple
- Flavor adds to the good flavor.
- Drain the can of clams into a saucepan. set the clams aside. boil
- (simmer{ the potatoes in the clam juice til tender. 10 - 15 minutes.
- Drain clams reserving the clam juice. set the clams aside til the end
- While the potatoes are cooking - fry the bacon til crisp in a large
- Dutch oven or heavy pan. I use coated cast iron. (Le Crueset dutch
- Oven)
- When bacon is done - remove from fat.
- Saute the onion (and celery) in the rendered bacon fat til tender.
- Add 3-4 T flour (or more) to make a roux.
- Add the broth from the clams. cook over medium heat til thick.
- Add milk and cream. use your best judgement as to how much to use
- Depending on the fat/flour ratio you've used.
- Add the cooked potatoes - add the clams. add back in the cooked bacon.
- Add any seasonings you might like. like the dried thyme and perhaps
- Some pepper. Some people add a little Sherry wine.
- Try not to cook the clams any more than you have to. they'll get tough.
- Simmer til thick as you like.
- Yummy! I used the thick maple bacon from sams. I think it's call
- Wright's. It comes in a 3 lb pkd. Not all Sam's clubs carry it.
