A wonderful clam chowder to serve with hot sourdough bread or, better yet, in a sourdough bread bowl. My whole family adores this clam chowder recipe, and I'm sure yours will too!

  • medium unpeeled potatoes: 5 piece (diced)

  1. Cook bacon in a large pot over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until crisped and browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer bacon with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate. Leave drippings in the pot.

  3. Pour clam juice into the pot, add enough water to just cover potatoes, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until potatoes are just tender, 10 to 15 minutes.

  4. Add leek soup mix and gently stir until no lumps remain. Stir in clams, half-and-half, and reserved bacon. Cook and stir until chowder returns to a simmer and thickens, about 10 minutes more.
