Clam Chowder, not Clam Sludge!


Never made Clam Chowder because you thought it was to hard?  Clam Chowder has never been more easy! I hope you enjoy this, even my three year old twins enjoy this Chowder recipe. I have always been a lover of Clam Chowder, however never knew how to make it, and anytime I bought a can of Clam Chowder I was always dissapointed, it was like can of Clam Sludge. YUCK! So here you go, enjoy!!!

Ingredients:
2 - 10.5oz Cans of Clams
1/4lb Bacon
1 Medium Onion Diced
4 Cans Diced Potatoes
1 Cup Whipping Cream
1Cup Whole Milk
1Tbls Butter
Salt, Black Pepper, Tony's, Dried Parsley Flakes (to taste)

Directions: 

Cook your bacon up crispy, drain cooked Bacon on layers of paper towel, reserve two tablespoons of bacon grease to fry the onions in. Chop Bacon and set aside.

Fry your onions in the two tablespoons of Bacon grease over medium heat until clear.

In a large measuring cup, drain your clams reserving the liquid, add enough water to your clam juice to make three cups of liquid.

Drain your diced potatoes, do not reserve the liquid. 

In a large stock pot put your Clam Juice/Water, Clams, Potatoes, Bacon, Onions, Whipping Cream, Whole Milk, Butter, and mix. Cook on medium high for 30 minutes, add your Salt, Black Pepper, Tony's and Dried Parsley Flakes to taste, mix well and serve!
