by Kathleen Hill
serves: 8
  New England Style Clam Chowder
Ingredients:
  4 6.5 oz can   minced clams
  4 slices   bacon
  6   potatoes
  2   onions
  2 tsp   worcestershire sauce
  1/2 tsp   thyme
  1/4 tsp   pepper
  4 cups   milk
  2 cups   half and half
  4 tbsp   flour
Directions:
  Drain juice from clams and save for later. If needed add enough water to the juice to equal 2 cups liquid.

In a large pot, cook the bacon until crispy and remove bacon. Crumble bacon and set aside.

Stir in the clam juice, potatoes, onion, worcestershire, thyme and pepper. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer, covered, until potatoes are tender. About 15-20 minutes.

In a bowl, stir together the milk, half and half and flour. Add it to the potato mixure. Cook and stir until slightly thickened then add the clams and bacon. Continue to cook until clams are heated completely and enjoy!
