Ingredients

Servings
  • 4 lices Bacon cut into 1/4-inch pieces, thick-cut
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 bottles bottles (8-ounces each) clam juice
  • 4 cans cans (6.5-ounces each) minced clams drain and reserve clam juice
  • 1 cup water
  • 3 medium russet potato about 1 1/2 pounds, scrubbed and diced medium
  • 2 large bay leaf
  • ¼ teaspoon thyme dried
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons parsley minced fresh leaves or 2 teaspoons dried
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Fry bacon in medium saucepan (I used a medium enameled dutch oven) over medium-low heat until fat renders and bacon crisps, 5 to 7 minutes. Add onion to bacon; sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add flour; stir until lightly colored, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in bottled clam juice, reserved clam juice from clams, and water.
  3. Add potatoes, bay leaves, and thyme; simmer until potatoes are tender, about 6 minutes (don’t overcook the potatoes or they will become mushy after adding the cream and bringing to a simmer!).
  4. Add clams, cream, parsley, and salt and ground pepper to taste (be careful not to oversalt!); bring to simmer.
  5. Remove from heat and serve.
