Cook

Step 1. Cook Bacon in a large Dutch oven over medium heat, stirring, until crisp and the fat renders, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the fat in the pot.
Step 2. Add Onion and Celery to the pot and cook over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in All-Purpose Flour and cook, stirring, until no dry flour remains, about 1 minute.
Step 3. Gradually stir in Clam Juice, scraping the bottom of the pot. Add Potato, Bay Leaves, and Black Pepper; bring to a simmer, then cover and cook over medium-low heat until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
Step 4. Stir in Milk and Clams. Heat gently over medium-low heat until steaming and the clams are hot, about 4 minutes; do not boil.

Finish & serve

Step 5. Remove the bay leaf and taste the chowder. Add Salt as needed, then ladle into bowls and top with the reserved bacon. Serve with Oyster Crackers.

Tips

Good to know

Keep the chowder below a boil after adding the milk and clams so the milk stays smooth and the clams stay tender.

Leftovers

Refrigerate leftovers promptly for up to 3 days and reheat gently, keeping the crackers separate.
