Clam Chowder

I love winter comfort foods and this chowder is just that!  It is thick, creamy and delicious.  This chowder is packed with flavor, the bacon and clams are a yummy combo.  Where lots of soups leave you a bit hungry an hour later, this fills you up for hours.

Ingredients:

6 pieces of bacon cut into small pieces

10 ounces of whole canned baby clams

7 red potatoes cubed

2 cans of Cream of Celery

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup milk

1 tablespoon butter

salt and pepper to taste

Cook bacon until crispy then add juice from cans of clams.  Add potatoes and cover, cook for about 15 minutes or until potatoes are  tender(stirring occasionally).  Add clams, cream of celery soup, milk , butter and heavy cream, season and stir together.   Cover and cook about 10 minutes or until thickened to your liking.  Serves 6.  (Adapted from Recipe Zaar.)
