The infamous, homemade New England Clam Chowder. So hearty and filling it can be a meal in itself.

How to make it
- Fry the bacon in a large saucepan over medium high heat until crisp, around 10 minutes. Drain, saving the bacon fat in the pan, crumble the bacon and place aside.
- In the same pan with the fat, saute the potatoes and onion for 3-5 minutes. Sprinkle with flour and stir to coat thoroughly.
- Add in the clam juice, and bring to a boil then reduce heat to low and simmer for around 15 minutes, or until potatoes become tender.
- Mix in the half-and-half and minced clams, then season with salt and pepper, to taste. Now, stir in the heavy cream, (if preferred) and allow to heat completely, about 5 minutes. Garnish soup with the crumbled bacon and parsley.
