Quick and Easy Clam Chowder (With Optional Bread Bowls)

Add veggies except corn and potatoes to a stock pot with butter, cook until al dente. Add potatoes with enough water to cover and continue cooking until potatoes are tender. Add the corn and bring back to a boil. Add clams* and bacon and bring back to desired heat. Add milk or cream, salt and pepper, stir well then serve.

For bread bowls, cut the middles out of the sourdough rolls and toast in the oven before adding the chowder.

*For a less clammy flavor, drain the clams before adding.

Keep in mind that you can take out or add any of the veggies and/or bacon as desired. This is a fully customizable recipe outside of the cream base and, of course, the clams!
