Mom's Clam Chowder
Homemade clam chowder is such a treat! It's light, creamy, and oh so satisfying. This delicious recipe is from my mother-in-love, Veralene Hillis. Serve with warm crusty sourdough bread or crackers for dipping!
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 (26 oz.) can minced clams un-drained (I buy mine at Costco)
- 1 lb. potatoes peeled and diced
- 1 c. half and half
- 1/2 c. whipping cream
- 1/4 tsp. seasoning salt
- 1 dash ground thyme
- 1 dash ground white pepper
- 1 pat butter for each serving bowl
Instructions
- In a large pot, cover potatoes with water and boil until tender, drain and return to pot, mash lightly, set aside.
- In a separate pot heat clams with liquid, simmer to keep warm.
- In another pot, heat half & half, whipping cream and seasonings until scalded.
- Pour the milk mixture over the potatoes. Stir in clams.
- Serve in soup bowls with a pat of butter. Garnish with crispy crumbled bacon and chopped parsley, if desired.
- To make it a complete meal, serve with salad and warm sourdough bread.
Notes
Cook's Note: This recipe is so good, we always double it, even triple it!! It’s even better the next day.
Looks fantastic! Mine is very similar but also has. Bit of white wine and a dash of Worcestershire and of course bacon. When the kids were young I started adding onion, celery and carrots cause you gotta sneak in the veggies
Sounds absolutely AMAZING!!
