Ingredients

pound thick cut bacon, diced
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 ribs celery, diced
1 carrot, finely chopped
2 tablespoons minced garlic
cup all-purpose flour
3 cups low sodium chicken broth
2 cups half and half
1 cup clam juice
3 large russet potatoes, diced
3 (6.5 ounce) cans clams in juices, chopped or minced
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
teaspoon black pepper
cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
1 tablespoon minced chives

Instructions

1 Heat a large soup pot over medium heat. Add in diced bacon and cook until crispy, stirring occasionally. Use a slotted spoon to remove crispy bacon and transfer to a paper towel lined plate and set aside. Remove and set aside excess bacon grease from skillet, leaving just 1 tablespoon of grease in the pot.

2 Return pot to medium-high heat. Add in onion, chopped celery and carrots and saute 7 minutes, until soft and translucent. Add in 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease and garlic. Stir in flour and cook an additional 2-3 minutes.

3 Slowly pour in chicken broth, half and half, and clam juice. Add in potatoes and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue simmering until potatoes are soft and tender, about 15-20 minutes.

4 Once potatoes are tender, add in the chopped clams. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5 Serve hot topped with cooked bacon, chives, and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese.
