Clam Chowder

The title speaks for itself.
YUM!
I love this dish. Seriously. It's one of my favorites. And, when I saw clams at the grocery store yesterday, I was inspired. So, here goes...
Boil the potatoes.
While those are cooking, get everything else ready.
Cream, Milk, Thyme, onions, clams, and fat (I used some duck fat I have been storing in the freezer, but there are plenty of other things you can use- bacon fat, pork fat, and butter are a few.)

 In a large pot, add a little of your fat, then add chopped white onion, one sprig of thyme, and the potatoes.
You can also throw in a bay leaf if you want. I just didn't have one, so I left it out.

 Once those have cooked a bit, it's time to add the cream and milk.

Now, most recipes call for heavy cream, but I wanted to try to make it a little more healthy (even though I just used a tablespoon of duck fat), so I used light cream and skim milk.

    

Let that heat up a bit, then add the clams, and clam juice. I bought frozen clams in juice, so I separated them after they thawed.

    

That's it! 

Enjoy!
