Minced clams with potatoes and onion simmered in a broth of clam juice and half-and-half. A great, hearty soup to start a meal off with, or can even be a meal in itself.
Ingredients
- 4 slices bacon
- ½ cup chopped onion
- 4 potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup bottled clam juice
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 2 (6 ounce) cans minced clams
- salt and pepper to taste
- ½ cup heavy cream (Optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
In a large saucepan over medium high heat, fry the bacon until crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels, reserving the bacon fat in the pan, crumble and set aside.
Step 2
In the same saucepan with the bacon fat, saute the onion and potatoes for 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle with the flour and stir well to coat.
Step 3
Pour in the clam juice, bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
Step 4
Add the half-and-half and minced clams and season with salt and pepper to taste. Finally, whisk in the heavy cream, if desired. Allow to heat through, about 5 minutes. Garnish with the parsley and crumbled bacon. (Note: Do not boil if adding cream.)
