- 2-3 slices bacon, coarsely chopped
- 1 large yellow onion, peeled and chopped
- 3 ribs celery with leaves, diced
- 1 medium carrot, peeled and diced
- 1 small fennel bulb, trimmed,cored and chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Method
Step 1
Drain clams, reserving a liquid. Add reserved liquid to the other liquids as a part of the clam juice proportions (3 cups total). Chop the clams and set aside.
Step 2
Add chopped bacon to pressure cooker and cook over medium heat until crisp. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towel and pat it dry. If the bacon has not rendered 3 tablespoons fat, add more butter or oil.
Step 3
Add onion and cook, until it begins to soften (for about 3 minutes). Stir in celery, carrot, fennel, thyme and cayenne pepper. Cook, stirring, for a further 1 minute.
Step 4
Stir in potatoes, reserved bacon and tomatoes with their juices. Gradually pour in the clam juice and broth. It will just cover cooked vegetables.
Step 5
Close pressure cooker. Set burner heat to high. When pressure cooker reaches high pressure, reduce burner heat to low.
Step 6
Remove the pot from the heat. Carefully open pressure cooker. Allow staying for 10 minutes.
Step 7
Add chopped clams and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
Step 8
Ladle clam chowder into soup bowls. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and drizzle with olive oil. Serve hot.
