Ingredients | California Roll Eel Sauce

6 slices bacon, or more to taste

2 cups diced red potatoes, or more to taste

1 cup diced celery

1 cup minced yellow onion

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)

½ teaspoon garlic salt

½ teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon thyme

white pepper to taste

½ cup butter

½ cup cornstarch

2 cups half-and-half

2 cups 2% milk

4 (6.5 ounce) cans minced clams, undrained, or more to taste

1 ½ tablespoons red wine vinegar

Directions

Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and crumble, reserving the drippings in the skillet.

Cook and stir potatoes, celery, and onion in the bacon grease over medium heat until cooked through and tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain grease from skillet and stir seafood seasoning, garlic salt, onion powder, thyme, and white pepper into vegetable mixture until evenly coated.

Melt butter in a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat. Whisk cornstarch into melted butter until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir half-and-half and milk into butter mixture until thickened and smooth, about 5 minutes.

Drain juice from canned clams and stir juice into milk-butter mixture; add vegetable mixture and stir. Cook and stir soup until heated through but not boiling, about 5 minutes. Stir clams into soup and simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle bacon and drizzle red wine vinegar over soup before serving.

You can adjust the thickness of your chowder by increasing or decreasing the amount of milk.
