Directions: |
Directions:In a large pot, bring clams and 4 c water to boil over high heat. Cook 8-10 minutes. Discard any clams that don't open. Scoop clams to a large baking sheet and allow to cool. Then pull meat from shells and discard the shells. Coarsely chop clams.
Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, celery and garlic and cook for 5 minutes. Add the water the clams were cooked in. Add potatoes, wine, thyme, pepper and bay leaf. Simmer until potatoes are tender; about 15 minutes. Use a potato masher to coarsely smash the potatoes - leaf some chunks.
In a small bowl, whisk together remaining 1 tablespoon water with cornstarch. Stir into chowder and bring to boil over medium-high heat. Cook until slightly thickened. Remove from heat. Discard bay leaf. Stir in clams and half-and-half. Serve in bowls with chives sprinkled over. |
