INGREDIENTS

  • Main Ingredients

    • 🥓 4 slices bacon
    • 🧅 ½ cup chopped onion
    • 🥔 4 potatoes, peeled and cubed
    • 🌾 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
    • 1 cup bottled clam juice
    • 🥛 1 cup half-and-half
    • 2 (6 ounce) cans minced clams
    • 🧂 Salt and pepper to taste
    • 🥛 ½ cup heavy cream (Optional)
    • 🌿 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

STEPS

1

In a large saucepan over medium high heat, fry the bacon until crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels, reserving the bacon fat in the pan, crumble and set aside.

2

In the same saucepan with the bacon fat, sauté the onion and potatoes for 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle with the flour and stir well to coat.

3

Pour in the clam juice, bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.

4

Add the half-and-half and minced clams and season with salt and pepper to taste. Finally, whisk in the heavy cream, if desired. Allow to heat through, about 5 minutes. Garnish with the parsley and crumbled bacon. (Note: Do not boil if adding cream.)
