I'm only posting my personal touches to an existing recipe of NE Clam Chowder. The original omitted Celery, but it was definitely a bland recipe. The Celery really contrasts the potatoes and onion for a good mixed flavor.

How To Make new england clam chowder

Step 1

In a large saucepan over medium high heat, fry the bacon until crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels, reserving the bacon fat in the pan, crumble and set aside.

Step 2

In the same saucepan with the bacon fat, saute the onion and potatoes for 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle with the flour and stir well to coat.
Step 3

Pour in the clam juice, bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
Step 4

Add the half-and-half, Garlic, Celery, and minced clams and season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow to heat through, about 5 minutes. Garnish with the parsley and crumbled bacon.
