Clam and Corn Chowder

This classic clam and corn chowder is a wonderfully comforting dish that perfectly balances the briny sweetness of fresh seafood with the smoky depth of bacon. Using small, hard-shelled clams ensures a delicate texture, while the addition of fresh sweetcorn and tender potatoes creates a thick, satisfying consistency. It is an excellent choice for a weekend lunch or a light evening meal when you want something that feels both indulgent and nourishing.

As a dairy-free friendly category base, this versatile recipe can be easily adapted to suit different dietary needs by swapping the butter and cream for plant-based alternatives. Serve this savoury soup with crusty sourdough bread to soak up every drop of the rich broth. It is a brilliant way to enjoy high-quality British seafood and seasonal produce in one steaming bowl.

How to make Clam and Corn Chowder

Cook bacon in a 4- to 5-quart heavy pot over medium heat, stirring, until slightly browned but not crisp. Chop white and pale green parts of spring onions (reserve greens) and add to bacon along with 1 tablespoon butter. Cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Stir in corn, potatoes, clam juice, water, and 1/2 teaspoons pepper and bring to a rolling boil, uncovered. Add clams and return to a boil, then simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until clams are just opened wide, 5 to 8 minutes (discard any clams that remain unopened after 8 minutes).

Chop 1/2 cup spring onion greens and add to chowder along with milk, cream, and remaining tablespoon butter. Cook, stirring, until heated through (do not let boil). Season with salt and pepper.
