How to Make All Clammed Up Clam Chowder

  1. Dice bacon and cook in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels, and crumble. Set aside.
  2. Add chopped onion to the bacon grease in the pot and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in flour, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Reduce heat to very low.
  5. Drain clams, reserving the liquid. Add clam liquid and 1 cup of water to the pot.
  6. Add diced potatoes to the pot and cook until tender, about 10-12 minutes.
  7. Stir in dry milk powder until smooth.
  8. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly until the chowder thickens slightly (about 2-3 minutes).
  9. Stir in the cooked clams and crumbled bacon.
  10. Heat for another 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  11. Serve hot. Garnish with extra bacon bits if desired. Enjoy with biscuits and strawberry jam!
