One of the best recipes that I created with some tweeks and trims. This chowder turned out creamy, with great color and texture. Please enjoy.

- 4 5 once cans Minced clams in clam juice
- 4 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cups finely chopped onions
- 1 cup finely chopped celery
- 3 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme
- 2 bay leaves
- 3 cups cubed, peeled potatoes,
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Salt to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter,
- 4 teaspoons minced parsley
- 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
To Prepare
.
In a large pot cook the bacon until browned. Add the butter, onions and celery and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, thyme and bay leaves, and cook until the vegetables are golden,but now browned about 3 minutes, Add the potatoes, clams with clam juice from can, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, cover, and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the broth thickens slightly and the potatoes are cooked. (If you want a thicker chowder, mash some of the potatoes.) Add heavy cream and season with pepper and salt, for garnish add parsley and green onions and some great home made croutons.
