INGREDIENTS

  • Protein

    • 🥓 ½ pound bacon, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
    • 🦪 2 (6.5 ounce) cans chopped clams, drained with juice reserved

  • Vegetables

    • 🥔 5 medium unpeeled potatoes, diced
    • 🥕 2 medium carrots, diced

  • Dry Ingredients

    • 2 (1.8 ounce) packages dry leek soup mix

  • Dairy

    • 1 quart half-and-half

  • Seasonings

    • 🧂 Salt to taste
    • Pepper to taste

  • Liquid

    • 💧 2 cups water, or as needed

STEPS

1

Cook bacon in a large pot over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until crisped and browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer bacon with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate. Leave drippings in the pot.

2

Place potatoes and carrots into the pot and season with salt and pepper; cook in bacon drippings, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes.

3

Pour clam juice into the pot, add enough water to just cover potatoes, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until potatoes are just tender, 10 to 15 minutes.

4

Add leek soup mix and gently stir until no lumps remain. Stir in clams, half-and-half, and reserved bacon. Cook and stir until chowder returns to a simmer and thickens, about 10 minutes more.
