bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: smoked sausage

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

Scrub and soak the clams to remove sand, about 5 pounds for 6-8 servings.

In a pot, add 6 ounces of slab bacon and cook on medium heat to render the fat slowly.

Add 4 cloves of garlic, chopped or sliced, to the pot with the bacon.

Rinse 2 leeks and add them to the pot, using the whole leek including most of the green.

Add chopped celery to the pot for flavoring the chowder base.

Add corn to the chowder for a late summer vibe.

Combine all ingredients in the pot and let them cook together.
