This is the BEST chowder I've ever had. I've had chowder at Legal Seafoods in Boston, which I have to say is good, but mine is BETTER! If you like thick chowder, you'll love this one!!
Ingredients:
6 -7 pieces bacon, cut into small pieces
1 medium onion, chopped
2 (5 ounce) cans baby clams, with juice reserved
6 -7 potatoes, cubed
2 (10 1/2 ounce) cans cream of celery soup
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
Directions:
1. Add bacon to sauce pan and cook on medium low heat until crispy.
2. Add onion and cook until translucent.
3. Add clam juice from both cans.
4. Add potatoes.
5. Cook and cover until potatoes are fork tender, about 15-20 minutes.
6. Stir occasionally so potatoes won't stick.
7. Add clams, soup, cream, milk, and dill weed.
8. Stir together.
9. Add butter and let melt into the chowder.
10. Cook for about 30-45 minutes or until thickened.
11. Stir occasionally.
