• Sweat for 5-7 mins, or until bacon becomes crispy. Remove bacon and reserve for garnish. Add onion to pan and cook until translucent. Add carrot and celery. Cook for 5 min.
• Sprinkle flour over vegetables to create roux. Mix until all the oil and bacon fat is absorbed. Sprinkle some extra flour if needed. Slowly add stock, 100ml at a time.
Stir well to incorporate.
• Make sure you add stock slowly, while mixing evenly. This will minimize lumps from forming. If lumps do occur, use spatula to smooth them out. Switch to a whisk about halfway through. Continue to slowly add stock, stirring as you go. Once all stock is added, bring to a simmer for 30min.
• Meanwhile, cook the potatoes: fill pot with cold water and potatoes. Bring to a simmer and cook for 8-10 min. (Fun Fact: Cooking potatoes gradually in cold water ensures they will cook evenly. This does not damage the shape or texture.)
• Use a knife to make sure they’re cooked. Drain and set aside.
• Back to the chowder. If it still has a flour-y taste, continue to simmer until it dissipates.
• Add Ocean Mama Clam Meat and cream. Stir well. Add cooked potatoes and green onions. Stir to incorporate. Season with salt and pepper.
• Garnish with reserved bacon bits and more green onions. Ready to serve
