Ingredients
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 4 tablespoons chopped garlic
- 1/4 cup cooked bacon bits
- 1 tablespoon ground white pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
- 4 to 5 bay leaves
- 2 onions, finely diced
- 4 stalks celery, diced
- 1 cup sherry
- 1/2 cup clam stock
- 1/2 cup butter, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups heavy cream
- 1 1/2 pounds red potatoes, diced, cooked
- 2 pounds chopped clams
Instructions
- Heat a large stockpot over low heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the chopped garlic and let brown. Add the bacon. Let cook for a few minutes and then stir in the pepper, basil, oregano, and bay leaves. Add the onions, celery, sherry, and stock, stirring frequently, 30 to 40 minutes. After the onions and celery are half cooked, turn the heat to medium-low and simmer.
- Heat the heavy cream in a medium saucepan. Mix the butter and flour together to form a paste. Add to the cream and stir to incorporate.
- Confirm the onions, celery, and potatoes are cooked to desired tenderness, and then add the cooked potatoes, chopped clams and cream. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until ready to serve.

Reviews
Turned out great. Used 3 10oz canned clams. Would be great for a potato soup.
Excellent.
Personal opinion…this recipe is a hard-core, basic base.
1. This recipe is for clams. Uses clam broth and clams.
2. This recipe is for beef. Use beef broth and some style of beef.
3. This recipe is for chicken…etc., etc., (turkey, veggies,shrimp, lobster, etc..

Have done all of the above AND doing exactly as recipe states BUT changing the clam stuff with other stuff…each time…delicious.
Big thanks for having this recipe. I might have learned a lesson from cooking school!
