For a richer flavor, consider using bacon grease instead of vegetable oil to sauté the vegetables. This will add a deeper smoky note to the chowder. If you prefer a thicker chowder, you can mash some of the potatoes against the side of the pot during the last 10 minutes of simmering. Fresh thyme can be used instead of dried thyme. Use about 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme leaves. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the black pepper.

Apr 25, 2025I was skeptical about using minced clams, but this chowder turned out great! The key is to use good-quality clam juice.

Jun 16, 2024I've made this recipe several times, and it's always a hit. I like to add a bay leaf to the chowder while it simmers for an extra layer of flavor.
