Ingredients

• 3 pounds fresh littleneck clams
• 4 cups water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 2 carrots, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 large red bell pepper, diced
• 2 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes (with juices)
• 2 cups clam juice
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 loaf crusty bread (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Scrub the clams under running water to remove sand or debris. Discard any clams that are cracked or remain open when tapped.

Step 2

In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the clams, cover, and steam for about 6–8 minutes, or until the clams have opened. Remove the clams with a slotted spoon and set aside to cool. Discard any clams that did not open.

Step 3

Strain the cooking liquid through a fine-mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth to remove sand and reserve the liquid for later use.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion, celery, carrots, and red bell pepper, and sauté for 5–7 minutes or until softened.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the diced potatoes, canned tomatoes (with their juices), clam juice, white wine, reserved clam cooking liquid, bay leaves, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Bring the chowder to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 20–25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 8

While the chowder simmers, remove the clam meat from the shells and roughly chop it. Discard the shells.

Step 9

After the potatoes have cooked through, add the chopped clam meat to the pot and stir well. Simmer for 5 more minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 10

Remove the bay leaves from the pot and taste the chowder, adjusting the seasoning as needed.

Step 11

Ladle the chowder into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot with crusty bread on the side, if desired.
