Ingredients
- 1 lb. bacon, chopped
- 2 large onions, chopped
- 5 cans minced or chopped clams
- 3 cans Snow's clam chowder
- salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- 2 qt. half and half
- 6 large potatoes, peeled and diced
Method
- Chop bacon and render. When bacon is crisp, remove from skillet and discard fat, except for 1 tablespoon. Cook onions in bacon fat until soft. Add potatoes, juice from clams and 1 cup of water. Boil until potatoes are soft. Add clams, clam chowder, half and half and bring to a boil. Taste for seasoning. Add 1/4 pound butter to melt and add the bacon. Set aside for a couple of hours to allow flavors to combine. If too thick, add a small bottle of clam juice. (I add just a little cayenne and Worcestershire sauce.) Reheat slowly.
