Ingredients:

  • 2 (6 1/2 oz) cans minced clams
  • 4 oz bottled clam juice ( half a bottle)
  • 2 cups finely diced potatoes
  • 1 cup finely diced onion
  • 1 cup finely diced celery
  • 2 tbsp bacon fat
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2/3 cup flour
  • 1 quart half-and-half
  • 1 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp white pepper

Directions:

  1. Drain clams, reserving liquid; spread clams out on cutting board; remove and discard anything that looks questionable; set clams aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, pour drained liquid from clams and bottled clam juice over potatoes; add 1-2 tablespoons of water if needed so that potatoes are barely covered with liquid; boil gently 5-6 minutes until potatoes are tender; set aside without draining.
  3. In a heavy stockpot, saute onion and celery in bacon fat for 2-3 minutes over medium-high heat; add butter and melt; whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbly; gradually whisk in half and half; cook, stirring frequently, until bubbly and thick.
  4. Add clams, potatoes, and the clam juice they cooked in to the pot; heat through; season and serve.
