My dad has perfected his clam chowder recipe over the years. I have never tasted any that could top his. Give it a try - IT’S SERIOUSLY THE BEST! He uses it for their traditional Christmas Eve dinner, along with yummy rolls for dipping! The chart below lets you tailor the recipe for either a small or large group…

  • Cook bacon until transparent. Easiest to cut into small pieces with scissors before cooking and cook in pot that you will use for the rest of the ingredients

  • Add butter, onions, celery and all the seasonings except dill and parsley.

  • Cook until tender.

  • Add flour and cook for another 3 - 4 minutes over low heat.

  • Add all dairy products, and clam nectar.

  • Heat just under boiling point.

  • Steam potatoes and cool. You can also cut them into small pieces and microwave for about 2 minutes.

  • Add chopped clams and potatoes.

  • Bring to a boil slowly and cook for 2 - 3 minutes.

  • Add dill and parsley.

Notes:

  • 1 can (51 oz.) of Seawatch Chopped Sea Clams from Costco = about 4 cups of clam juice and 3 cups of chopped clams.

  • 3 small cans of clams yields 1 ½ cups clam juice and 1 cup of clams.

  • An 8 oz serving = about 355 calories
