Clam Chowder Recipe

It’s winter here in Utah which means cold days and lots of snow.  I love ending the day with a large bowl of clam chowder with cornbread on the side.  This recipe is one I grew up with, my mom made it all the time and now I do.  It cooks up pretty quickly and I always have the ingredients on hand.  Even my kids like this soup. Personally I’m always a fan of soups and other comfort foods.

I mean really – does it get any better than than a warm filling bowl of chowder on a cold day? I think NOT! and it takes about an hour to make (more if your filming, less if your not – HA).  Growing up my mom always added 2 can’s of chopped clams, but I find that I like even MORE clam flavor so I switched from water to clam juice AND minced (smaller) to chopped clams.

Also I like to add bacon, bacon makes everything better, right? But you can leave it out for a more authentic clam chowder if you want.  If you don’t have half and half you can always create your own, with half milk half cream.  Honestly it’s what I usually do since I always have cream and milk and rarely have half and half in the fridge.

What is your favorite meal on a cold day? Soups, chili’s and chowders are my go to, easy, one pot, and always a great excuse to make breads too. Do you have a favorite soup recipe you make all the time? I’m always looking for new soups to make!
