Creamy Clam Chowder
Ingredients
  • 6 slices bacon, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3 (8 ounce) jars clam juice
  • 1 quart half-and-half cream
  • 4 cups minced clams
  • ground white pepper, to taste
Instructions
1
Heat a medium-sized skillet over an intermediate temperature, cooking the bacon, celery, and onion until the onion becomes transparent.
2
Remove the skillet from heat and set it aside momentarily.
3
In a large saucepan, melt butter over an intermediate temperature. Combine the flour with the melted butter to create a smooth paste, cooking until it reaches a bubbly state. Whisk in 1 jar of clam juice continuously, ensuring the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. Introduce the onion mixture into the saucepan, stirring gently to combine. Gradually pour in half-and-half while continuously stirring the mixture. Stir in clams, decrease the heat and let it simmer for 30 minutes.
