Manhattan Clam Chowder (serves 8)
4 slices bacon, diced
1 yellow onion, diced
2 large carrots, diced
3 stalks celery, chopped
8 oz cremini mushrooms, chopped
3/4 lb yukon gold potatoes, 1/2″ diced
28 oz cans peeled tomatoes, chopped
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp to 1 6 oz can tomato paste (we use the full TJ can for thicker chowder)
5 cups clam juice (substitute for chicken stock if needed, we usually combine 2 8 oz bottles of clam juice and the clam juice from the canned clams)
4 6.5 oz cans chopped clams (can use less, can swap for baby or minced clams if preferred)
1 bay leaf
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp red chili pepper flakes (optional)
1 tsp chicken bouillon
1-2 tsp kosher salt (use less if preferred, will season to taste at the end)
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1. Heat pan and add bacon. Fry until crispy, remove and set aside. Add onions, carrots, celery, mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook until tender, but not browned. Add garlic and saute 30 seconds. Stir in tomato paste.
2. Stir in clam juice, potatoes, and seasonings until combined. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 13-15 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
3. Stir in tomatoes, clams, and bacon. Simmer for 5 minutes and season to taste. Discard the bay leaf and serve with toasted sourdough.
