     New England Clam Chowder

Category   Salads - Soups - Sidedishes
Sub Category   None

Ingredients
7lbs medium-size hard-shell clams (topneck or small cherrystone) washed and scrubbed clean. (In a p
4 slices chick-cut bacon cut into 1/4 inch pieces
1 large yellow onion, diced
2 tablespoons flour
3 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 large bay leaf
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
1 cup heavy cream
 
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley leaves
salt and ground white pepper

Instructions
Bring clams and 3 cups of water to a boil in a large, covered soup kettle. Steam the clams until they just open (3 to 5 minutes). Transfer the clams to a large bowl and cool slightly.Remove the clams from the shells by opening the clams with a paring knife while holding over a bowl to catch the juices. Next, sever the muscle from under the clam and remove it from the shell. Reserve the meat in a bowl while discarding the shells. Mince the clams and set aside. Pour the clam broth through a fine mesh sieve into a 2-quart measuring cup, holing back the last few tablespoons to prevent sediment from entering the measuring cup. Set the clam broth aside (you should end up with about 5 cups).
Fry the bacon in a large pot over medium-low heat until the fat renders and the bacon crisps. Add the onion to the bacon and saute until softened (about 5 minutes). Add the flour and stir until lightly colored (about 1 minute). Gradually whisk in the reserved clam juice, then the dry white wine. Add the potatoes, bay leaf, and thyme. Simmer until the potatoes are tender (about 10 minutes). Add clams, cream, and parsley. Add salt and white pepper to taste, and bring the dish to a simmer. Remove from heat and serve with oyster crackers or hearty bread.
