Ingredients

8 oz Clams (I usually double or triple this... I am just that way..hehe) I like the chopped clams but can use minced or whole

3 Cups Milk (or half/half or cream)

1 Cup water/clam liquid

3 slices bacon (or pancetta.)

1 Cup onions - chopped

2 Cups diced raw potatoes

1-1/2 Cup drained whole kernel corn

2 (or more) Tbspns flour

1 Tbspn butter

1 Tspn celery salt

Dash (or more) white pepper

Always optional - 3 cloves crushed minced garlic and some green onions

Directions

Drain clams ... save liquid, add water to liquid -> 1 cup

Fry bacon (pancetta) till crisp, then add onions, cook till tender (I usually add the garlic here)

Add potatoes, water/clam liquid, cover and simmer till potatoes are tender.

Add corn and milk.

Blend flour with butter (if you want a thicker chowder, add more flour) stir into pan.

Cook slowly until mixture thickens slightly... stirring constantly.

Add seasonings and clams (here's where I add the thin sliced green onions).

Simmer for 5 minutes.

Ready to serve... but taste even better the next day.

I also like to add a few splashes of Franks extra hot sauce...

That sounds like a great chowder, and the weather is right for that around here (though we are having unusually mild weather at the moment, winter will return very shortly)...the Frank's would definitely be a nice addition. Thanks!
