Manhattan Clam Chowder

Ingredients

  • 1  pint shucked clams or two 6-1/2-ounce cans minced clams
  • 1  cup chopped celery (2 stalks)
  • 1/3  cup chopped onion (1 small)
  • 1/4  cup chopped carrot (1 small)
  • 2  tablespoons olive oil or cooking oil
  • 1  8-ounce bottle clam juice or 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2  cups cubed red potato
  • 1  teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
  • 1/8  teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/8  teaspoon black pepper
  • 1  14 1/2-ounce can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 2  tablespoons purchased cooked bacon pieces or cooked crumbled bacon*

Directions

1. Chop fresh clams, if using, reserving juice; set clams aside. Strain clam juice to remove bits of shell. (Or, drain canned clams, reserving juice.) If necessary, add enough water to reserved clam juice to equal 1-1/2 cups. Set juice aside.

2. In a large saucepan cook celery, onion, and carrot in hot oil until tender. Stir in the reserved 1-1/2 cups clam juice and the 8 ounces clam juice. Stir in potatoes, thyme, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 10 minutes. Stir in undrained tomatoes, clams, and bacon. Return to boiling; reduce heat. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes more or until heated through.

3. Makes 4 servings (6 1/2 cups)

4. *Note: If using bacon, cook 2 slices, reserving 2 tablespoons drippings. Omit the oil and cook the celery, onion, and carrot in the reserved drippings.
