Yields/Serves:
4
Ingredients:
3 red potatoes, peeled and cut into bite-sized cubes
½ teaspoon kosher salt plus 1 tablespoon for boiling the potatoes
2 ½ cups LACTAID® Lactose-Free Whole Milk
2 bacons strips, finely chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 yellow onion, finely chopped
2 carrots, peeled and finely chopped
2 celery stalks, finely chopped
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ cup chicken broth
2 6 ½ ounce cans of clams with liquid
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the potatoes and 1 tablespoon of salt and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- While the potatoes cook, make the chowder. Pour the LACTAID® Lactose-Free Whole Milk into a microwave-safe measuring cup and heat in 30-second increments until warm, about 1 ½ minutes. Set aside.
- Place the bacon in a soup pot over medium heat and cook until the bacon is crisp and browned, stirring often, 4 to 6 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
- Add the olive oil to the bacon fat. Then add the onions, carrots, celery, pepper and remaining salt to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the thyme and flour and cook, while stirring, for 2 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth, being sure to scrape up any bits from the bottom of the pot, and then pour in the LACTAID® Lactose-Free Whole Milk. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, add the boiled potatoes, clams (and liquid), and cook until the potatoes and clams are warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn off the heat and serve.
