1 whole Medium Onion, Diced
1 cup Each Diced Carrot And Celery
1/2 cups Green Pepper, Diced
1 whole Large Red Potato, Diced
2 Tablespoons Bacon Drippings
1 quart Chicken Broth (preferably Homemade)
1 bottle (8 Oz. Bottle) Clam Juice
3 teaspoons Reduced Sodium Chicken Bouillon Granules
1 whole Bay Leaf
1 teaspoon Dried Parsley
1/2 teaspoons Dried Thyme
1/2 teaspoons Curry Powder
1/2 teaspoons Salt
1/2 teaspoons Black Pepper
1 Tablespoon Butter
2/3 cups All-purpose Flour
2 cups Milk, Divided

1
In a Dutch oven over medium high heat, cook the onion, celery, carrots, green pepper, and potato in bacon drippings until golden and beginning to soften, about 15 minutes. Stir often.
2
Stir in the broth, clam juice, bouillon, and all the spices. Bring to a boil. Reduce your heat and then simmer about 15 minutes, or until potatoes and carrots are very tender.
3
In a small bowl, whisk the flour into 1 1/2 cups of the milk until very smooth with no lumps remaining.
4
Gradually stir this into your soup, and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring continuously for about 1-2 minutes or until soup thickens.
5
Stir in the remaining milk and cream. Add the clams. Heat through but do not boil!
6
Discard the bay leaf and serve in steaming mugs!
7
Oyster crackers or saltines are standard topping! Although some crumbled bacon isn't too shabby either!
