Ingredients
-
1 tablespoon bacon grease
-
2 potatoes, chopped
-
3 carrots, chopped, or more to taste
-
½ cup chopped onion
-
3 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
-
¼ cup all-purpose flour
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
½ teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring
-
½ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
-
2 cups chicken broth
-
1 (6.5 ounce) can clams, liquid drained and reserved and clams chopped
-
2 tablespoons butter
-
¼ cup cornstarch
-
1 cup milk
-
½ cup heavy whipping cream
-
½ cup corn
Directions
-
Heat bacon grease in a cast iron Dutch oven over medium heat; cook and stir potatoes, carrots, onion, and garlic until onion is soft, 5 to 10 minutes. Add flour, salt, garlic powder, liquid smoke flavoring, and black pepper; stir until vegetables are evenly coated.
-
Pour chicken broth and reserved clam juice over vegetables; cook at a simmer over low heat until potatoes and carrots are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
-
Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat; stir in cornstarch until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Add milk and cream; cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 5 minutes.
-
Stir butter mixture into vegetable-broth mixture; cook and stir over low heat until chowder is thickened, 5 to 10 minutes. Add corn and cook for 5 minutes. Mix chopped clams into chowder and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes more.
Cook's Note:
Make sure to use GMO-free corn starch. Bob's Red Mill(R) has a good one.
Butter can be substituted for the bacon grease, if desired.
