Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter

  • 4 (1 inch) cubes salt pork

  • 3 ribs celery, diced

  • 1 Spanish onion, diced

  • 1 clove garlic, minced (Optional)

  • 5 potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4 inch cubes

  • 5 cups clam juice

  • 1 teaspoon dried tarragon

  • 1 teaspoon celery salt

  • 2 bay leaves

  • 1 ½ pounds fresh clams, shelled and chopped

  • 5 dashes Worcestershire sauce

  • 2 cups heavy cream

  • ¼ teaspoon chopped fresh dill

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 10 sprigs fresh parsley, for garnish

Directions

  1. Melt butter in a stockpot over medium-high heat; cook and stir salt pork, celery, onion, and garlic in melted butter until softened, about 7 minutes. Add potatoes, clam juice, tarragon, celery salt, and bay leaves to the stockpot. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and place a cover on the pot. Cook at a simmer until potatoes are tender, about 35 minutes.

  2. Stir clams into the soup and simmer uncovered for 5 minutes. Add Worcestershire sauce, heavy cream, dill, salt, and pepper; stir and cook another 7 minutes. Remove the pot from heat. Remove and discard bay leaves. Garnish with parsley to serve.
