3 slices bacon (may add an extra slice or two)
2 cups cubed potatoes (I often add more)
1 cup coarsely chopped carrot (I use a very coarse grate)
1/2 cup chopped onion (I like to use leeks)
1/2 cup chopped celery, I add the celery (optional)
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can condensed chicken broth (I use chicken stock)
1 (6 1/2 ounce) can minced clams (drained and liquid reserved)
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk (I use half and half or cream)
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons freshly chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons shortening (I use Crisco)
2 tablespoons flour

1
In a large pot add bacon (I cut into bite size pieces) saute lightly.
2
Add in onions (and the celery which is optional) and saute briefly.
3
Add Chicken broth (I often use two cans of both the broth and the clams) potatoes, carrots, reserved clam juice, salt, pepper and simmer until vegetables are done.
4
Add in the milk, clams and chopped parsley stirring frequently until heated through.
5
You may wish to serve at this point but we make a roux melting shortening in a heavy pan, adding the flour browning to golden brown and whisking into chowder.
6
This can be prepared a day ahead, cool, cover and refrigerate bringing to a simmer (carefully stirring to prevent burning) before serving.
