Cheesy Clam Chowder Recipe
I never thought I'd be able to duplicate the excellent taste of hearty clam chowders found in many restaurants, but this recipe proved me wrong. The dill makes it extra-special.
8 Servings
Prep: 15 min.
Cook: 30 min.
Ingredients
2 cups chicken broth
2 cans (6-1/2 ounces each) chopped clams, undrained
3 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
4 medium carrots, sliced
4 celery ribs, sliced
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon minced fresh dill or 1 teaspoon dill weed

1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 cups half-and-half cream
1 cup cubed process cheese (Velveeta)
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack cheese
6 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
Directions
In a soup kettle or Dutch oven, combine the first 12 ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer for 20 minutes or until the vegetables are tender. Add cream and cheese; heat through until cheese is melted. Stir in bacon just before serving. Yield: 8 servings (about 2 quarts).
