How to cook it
-
Cook the salt pork in a large pot over medium heat until the fat renders and it turns golden, about 5 minutes, then remove and reserve.
-
Add the butter, onion, and celery to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
-
Sprinkle in the flour and cook, stirring, 1 minute, then gradually whisk in 2 cups water until smooth.
-
Add the potatoes and bay leaf, bring to a simmer, and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, steam the clams in a covered pot with a splash of water until they open, about 5 minutes; discard any that stay shut, then remove the meat from the shells, chop, and strain and reserve the steaming liquid.
-
Stir the chopped clams, their reserved liquid, the cream, and milk into the chowder and warm through gently without boiling, about 5 minutes.
-
Season with salt and pepper, ladle into bowls, and top with the reserved salt pork.
