Servings: persons

1/2 cup butter
6 slices bacon, chopped
1 large yellow onion, chopped
2 celery ribs, chopped
2 bay leaves
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/8 teaspoon thyme
3 -4 cups chicken stock (or equivalent of bouillion and less water)
4 medium russet potatoes, cubed
1 cup corn
reserved clam juice, from the canned clams
36 ounces canned clams
1 pint heavy cream (half and half for you dieters)
1/2 cup chopped tomato (optional)

1
Add 1/4 of butter to stock pot and brown the bacon in the bottom.
2
Once the bacon is done, remove it and save as garnish. Add the remaining butter, onion, celery, thyme, bay leaves, and garlic. Saute till soft.
3
Add the chicken stock, potatoes, corn, and the reserved clam juice. Cook on medium till tender. It will take about 25-30 minutes. If using the bouillion, you will need enough water to cover the potatoes.
4
Add the clams and the cream.
5
Adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper. Thicken it to your taste. I use a slurry of flour and water strained. Then bring to boil making sure you stir so as not to burn the bottom.
6
I like a few fresh pieces of tomato on mine at the last second.
7
Serve with oyster crackers or saltines.
