Instructions

  1. In a large pot over medium-high heat, cook bacon until crisp. Remove bacon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pot.
  2. In the same pot with bacon drippings, add onion, celery, and garlic. Cook until the vegetables are soft.
  3. Sprinkle flour over the cooked vegetables and stir to combine. Cook for 2 minutes. Gradually add clam juice while stirring continuously. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Add potatoes, bay leaf, thyme, and black pepper to the pot. Simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  5. Stir in milk, heavy cream, butter, and clams. Return bacon to the pot. Heat through, then remove the bay leaf before serving.
  6. Adjust seasonings and add salt if needed. Serve warm, sprinkled with freshly chopped parsley.
