Description
Indulge in the creamy, savory goodness of Red Lobster's famous clam chowder recipe. This rich and hearty soup combines tender clams, potatoes, and a velvety broth, perfect for any seafood lover!
Ingredients
- 13 ounces chopped clams,, canned, drained and juices reserved
- 1 cup diced bacon
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups whole milk
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 teaspoon thyme, optional
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Start by draining the canned clams, saving the juice. Chop the clams into small pieces, if desired, and set them aside.
- In a large pot, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set it aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.
- In the same pot, add diced onions and garlic to the bacon fat, cooking until softened and fragrant (about 3-4 minutes).
- Stir in the flour to create a roux, cooking for about 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
- Gradually add the reserved clam juice, followed by the milk and heavy cream, stirring constantly to combine and avoid lumps.
- Toss in the diced potatoes, bring to a simmer, and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
- Stir in thyme, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Add the chopped clams to the pot, and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until heated through.
- Crumble the cooked bacon and sprinkle it on top of the chowder for added flavor and crunch. Serve hot and enjoy!
