Mari's Clam Lovers Chowder
  • 8 (6.5 ounce) cans minced clams, drained with juice reserved
  • 4 ounces bacon, chopped
  • 2 cups finely chopped onion
  • 1 1/2 cups diced carrots
  • 2 quarts water
  • 2 cups chopped celery
  • 2 tablespoons minced parsley
  • 5 cups peeled and cubed potatoes
  • 1 1/2 cups butter
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 quarts heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar


  1. In a large stockpot, saute bacon until almost crisp. Drain fat. Add clam juice, onion, carrots, water, celery, and parsley. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes.
  2. Add potatoes and simmer 20 more minutes. At the time you add potatoes start cream sauce.
  3. In a Dutch oven melt butter and add flour; blend until smooth. Slowly pour in cream, stirring constantly. DO NOT BOIL! When smooth, transfer to the stockpot.
  4. Stir in clams, salt, pepper, sugar and red wine vinegar. Simmer, never let boil, until smooth and slightly thickened, about 30 to 45 minutes.
