Mark’s Clam Chowder

Karney Family Recipes Posted on by

I’ve been making this clam chowder for a long time. I came up with the recipe to mimic what you might get at a clambake, and to avoid the excess calories of New England Clam Chowder. This is a large recipe, because I usually make it for a crowd or we eat it for a few days. This recipe should scale down well. Serve it with crusty sourdough or rye bread.

  • 6 strips bacon, optional

  • 1 sweet red pepper (diced)
  • 12 cups (96oz.) chicken stock
  • Water as needed

Instructions

  1. Dice the bacon and fry in a large deep pot until crisp. Remove excess fat, leaving about 1 Tbsp.
  2. Add the diced onion and black pepper. Cook until slightly browned.
  3. Add potatoes, carrots, pepper, broth and enough water to cover.
  4. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes.
  5. Skim off any foam that forms on the surface. (This will get rid of most of the fat)

  8. Adjust seasonings, remove the rosemary stems and serve.
