Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (6.5 oz each) chopped clams (with juice)
  • 4 slices bacon (chopped)
  • 1 medium onion (diced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 medium potatoes (peeled and diced)
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish (optional))

Instructions

  • In a large pot, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pot.
  • Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté for about 5 minutes, until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

  • Once the potatoes are cooked, stir in the clams (with juice) and heavy cream. Heat through, but do not boil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
