10 Minute Clam Chowder
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can of clam chowder soup 🥫
- 1 can of clams, drained (reserve the juice!) 🦪
- 1 small onion, finely chopped 🧅
- 2 stalks of celery, chopped 🥒
- 1 tablespoon butter 🧈
- 1/4 cup milk or cream (optional for extra creaminess) 🥛
- Salt and pepper to taste 🧂
Instructions
- Sauté the Veggies: In a medium-sized pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and celery, and sauté until they become soft and translucent. This will add a nice depth of flavor to the chowder. 🍲
- Add the Clams: Stir in the canned clams along with the reserved clam juice. Let them cook for about 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. 🦪
- Combine with Chowder: Pour in the can of clam chowder soup, stirring well to combine everything. If you like your chowder extra creamy, add the milk or cream at this point. Let the mixture simmer on low heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. 😌
- Season to Taste: Add salt and pepper to taste. Feel free to sprinkle in a bit of your favorite seasoning or herbs if you’re feeling adventurous! 🌿
- Serve & Enjoy: Ladle your quick and easy clam chowder into bowls, garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley if you like, and dig in! Serve with some crusty bread or oyster crackers on the side for the ultimate comfort meal. 🥖
