-
1 pinch (1 g) salt
-
2 tablespoon (28 g) butter
-
1 small (70 g) onion, finely diced
-
1 celery stalk (40 g), finely diced
-
1 small (150 g) potato, small dice (or brunoise)
-
1 clove garlic, minced
-
1 cup (240 ml) clam juice or light seafood stock
-
1 cup (240 ml) milk
-
1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream

2–3 slices (60 g) bacon, small dice (optional)
-
1 bay leaf

PREPARATION
​​
Step 1
Cook bacon in a large pot over medium heat until crisp. Remove the bacon bits and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pot. Add the butter to the pot.
​
Step 2
Sauté the onion, celery, and potato in the butter and bacon fat until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
​
Step 3
Stir in the clam juice (or stock) and add the bay leaf. Bring to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 10–12 minutes.
​
Step 4
Lower the heat and stir in the milk and heavy cream. Gently simmer (do not boil) for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, quickly poach the chopped geoduck in simmering water for 10 seconds or lightly sauté it just until firm.
​
Step 5
Remove the bay leaf. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Ladle the chowder into small cups or spoons, top with the cooked geoduck and the reserved bacon bits, and serve warm.
