Instructions
- Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the oil and chopped bacon. Cook until bacon is crisp. Drain off all but 2 tablespoons fat (half this amount for less than 5 servings).
- Add onion and celery sautéing for about 8-10 minutes until vegetables are tender. Add flour and stir to incorporate. Cook for a minute, being careful not to burn the flour.
- Add bottled clam juice, and reserved canned clam juice, stirring constantly so flour doesn’t get lumpy. Add dried thyme and potatoes. Bring to a boil.
- Turn heat down to low, cover and cook potatoes until tender, about 20-25 minutes. Finish by adding heavy cream, clams and remaining seasonings. Prepare bread bowls, then when ready to serve, ladle soup into bowls.
Notes
If you don’t have quite enough clam juice from the canned clams (1 cup per serving) you can just use water to make up the difference.
