Instructions *** 1-9-2012 good but nothing special *** Recipe courtesy Ellie Krieger for Food Network Magazine Prep Time: 20 min Inactive Prep Time: -- Cook Time: 35 min Serves: 6 servings Ingredients 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon olive oil 4 slices Canadian bacon, diced (2 ounces) 1 large onion, chopped (about 2 cups) 6 stalks celery, diced (about 2 cups) Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper 1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic (about 3 large cloves) 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme 2 1-pound containers frozen clams packed in their own juice, thawed, juice reserved 1 1/4 pounds russet potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch dice 1 bay leaf 2 cups cold low-fat (1 percent) milk 2 tablespoons heavy cream 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour Hot sauce (such as Tabasco), for serving (optional) Directions Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the Canadian bacon and cook, stirring frequently, until crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a plate. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, the onion, celery, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to the pot and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic and thyme and cook, stirring, for 1 minute more. Add 1 1/2 cups water, the reserved clam juice (about 1 1/2 cups), the potatoes and bay leaf and bring to a boil. Partially cover the pot and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Whisk the milk, cream and flour in a bowl until the flour is dissolved. Slowly add the mixture to the pot, stirring constantly. While stirring, bring the soup to a simmer (do not boil). Reduce the heat to medium low and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 8 minutes. Add the clams and simmer 2 minutes more. Discard the bay leaf. Add salt and pepper to taste. Right before serving, stir in the bacon. Serve with the hot sauce.
