Instructions in making Jenn’s SUper easy Clam CHowder
Step 1
Place the bacon in a large pot and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until crisped and browned for about 10 minutes.
Step 2
Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon, leaving the drippings in the pot. Set the bacon aside.
Step 3
Stir the potatoes and carrots into the bacon fat. Season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Step 4
Pour the juice from the clams into the pot, and add enough water to just cover the potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the potatoes are just tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 5
Gently stir the leek soup mix into the potatoes until no lumps of soup remain.
Step 6
Stir in the clams, reserved bacon, and half-and-half cream. Cook and stir until the chowder returns to a simmer and thickens, about 10 minutes more. Serve warm and enjoy!
