Method

  1. 01

    Open the clams

    Put the clams in a hot pan with the white wine and water. Cover and cook over high heat until they open. Remove the clams, strain and reserve the cooking liquid, then remove the meat from the shells and set it aside.

  2. 02

    Brown the bacon

    Brown the bacon in a pot. Remove it and set it aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.

  3. 03

    Soften the vegetables

    Chop the leek, spring onion, and celery. Add them to the pot with the bacon fat, season with the salt, and cook, stirring from time to time, until tender.

    20 min
  4. 04

    Add the butter and flour

    Add the butter and flour to the vegetables. Stir as the flour cooks so it combines without forming lumps.

  5. 05

    Cook the potatoes

    Pour the strained clam liquid into the pot and add the diced potatoes. Cook until tender.

    20 min
  6. 06

  7. 07

    Finish and serve

    Add the reserved clams and ground white pepper. Ladle the soup into deep bowls and finish with chopped fresh chives.
