3 Large Potatoes
1/4 cups Onion, Chopped
1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
1/3 cups Flour
2 cups Milk
12 ounces, weight Canned Minced Clams

1
Over medium heat, fry bacon and onion in a large pot or Dutch oven. Meanwhile, microwave potatoes approximately 5-6 minutes until done. Give the potatoes a rough chop, leaving skins on if desired. Drain 2 to 3 tablespoons fat from bacon drippings. Add lemon juice.

Over medium heat, add flour over bacon and drippings and whisk, then slowly add milk, as if to make gravy. Bring almost to a boil, but not quite. This will cause the soup to thicken.
