Preparation
Step 1
1
Drain the clams, but reserve the juice.
Also, if you are using canned corn, drain well.
2
Add the bacon to a large stock pot, and cook the bacon until almost crisp.
3
Add the onions and celery to the bacon, cook until tender.
Then add the potatoes, clam juice, and just enough water to barely cover the veggie/ bacon mixture.
Cover and simmer.
Cook potatoes until JUST fork tender; careful not to over cook the potatoes.
4
In the meantime, in a 5 qt pan, melt the butter, add the flour, whisk to blend and cook for about two minutes.
Add the cream, cook and stir until smooth and thick, using a wire whisk, until desired thickness.
5
Once your "chowda" is as thick as you wish,remove the pot from the stove, and add the cream mixture, drained corn, creamed corn, clams, and hot sauce.
Stir to combine.
