Bodega Bay’s famous New England Clam Chowder recipe!

cream

🥗Healthier: coconut milk

💰Cheaper: milk

Coconut milk is lower in calories and dairy-free, while milk is more budget-friendly.

bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: smoked sausage

Turkey bacon is lower in fat, and smoked sausage can be more affordable.

Cook bacon on low heat until crispy, then remove and reserve the bacon grease.

Add chopped onions and celery to the bacon grease and cook for about 10 minutes until softened and slightly colored.

Season the vegetables with salt, black pepper, and cajun seasoning while cooking.

Add five jars of clam juice to the pot and bring to a boil.

Add about five or six cubed russet potatoes to the boiling clam juice and cook until fork-tender.

Mix two cups each of heavy cream and whole milk in a separate container and warm it on low heat before adding to the soup.
