Wegman'S Delicious, Spunky, Clammy Chowda! Longmeadow

• 3 slices bacon, cut into 1/2 inch pieces (I use 1 slice of bacon)
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 cups clam juice (I use chicken stock)
• 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch pieces
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 (6 1/2 ounce) chopped clams, undrained
• 1 cup whole milk (or cream, I use 1% milk)

1. In a heavy bottom soup pot, cook bacon on LOW until crisp. Remove bacon and drain off all but 1 tablespoon bacon drippings.
2. Add onion to pot, stir and cook until limp and golden, about 3 minutes.
3. Add bacon, clam juice (or chicken stock), potatoes, and thyme. Simmer, covered; stirring occasionally until potatoes are soft, about 20 minutes.
4. Add clams and milk; simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes.
5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
