Main Ingredients

4 slices Bacon diced
1 cup Onion chopped
2 stalks Celery chopped
2 cloves Garlic minced
3 cups Potatoes peeled and diced
2 cans Clams with juice
2 cups Half-and-half
1 cup Milk
1 tsp Salt
0.5 tsp Black pepper
2 tbsp Butter
2 tbsp All-purpose flour

Instructions:

1. In a large pot, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside.
2. In the same pot, add the onion, celery, and garlic. Cook until softened.
3. Add the potatoes and clam juice. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender.
4. In a separate saucepan, melt the butter and whisk in the flour. Cook for a minute, then slowly whisk in the half-and-half and milk until smooth.
5. Add the milk mixture to the pot with the potatoes. Stir in the clams, salt, and pepper. Simmer for another 5 minutes.
6. Serve hot, garnished with the crispy bacon.

Notes:

For a thicker chowder, add more flour. For a thinner chowder, add more milk.
