Total time: 55 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Seafood
Ingredients: 2 tablespoons butter; 1 medium onion, finely chopped; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour; 3 cups chicken broth; 2 cups diced potatoes; 2 cans (6.5 oz each) chopped clams, undrained; 1 cup heavy cream; Salt and pepper to taste; Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the pot and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic mixture, stirring constantly to make a roux. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the raw flour taste is cooked out.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Allow the mixture to simmer for a few minutes until slightly thickened.
Add the diced potatoes to the pot and simmer until they are tender, about 10-15 minutes.
Stir in the undrained chopped clams and their juice, allowing the flavors to meld together for another 5-10 minutes.
Pour in the heavy cream, stirring gently to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Continue to simmer the chowder for an additional 5-10 minutes, allowing it to thicken to your desired consistency.
Serve the creamy clam chowder hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
