1/2 cup chopped celery |
1/2 cup chopped carrot |
1 teaspoon minced garlic |
4 strips bacon (4 oz.), chopped |
1/4 cup flour |
3 cups low-fat (1%) milk |
1 1/2 pounds red thin-skinned potatoes, cut into 1-in. chunks |
4 cans (6.5 oz. each) chopped clams, drained |
2 bottles (8 oz. each) clam juice |
1 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1/2 to 1 tsp. chopped fresh thyme leaves |

1. Heat oil in a 5- to 6-qt. pot over medium heat. Cook onion, celery, carrot, and garlic until softened, about 5 minutes. Transfer vegetables to a plate.
