This recipe has super simple ingredients, most of which you will already have in your kitchen! See the recipe card below for exact ingredient measurements!
- Bacon: The bacon really add the most amazing extra flavor to this recipe!
- Onion: You need the onion for some added flavor.
- Celery: Dice up your celery and put it in the chowder for an added crunch.

- Half and half: This is what will start to make your base of your chowder nice and creamy.
- Russet potatoes: Peel these up and dice them before adding them to the chowder.
