Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb chopped clam
6 slices thick slab bacon (cut into 1-inch squares)
10 small unpeeled yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes (or small white )
2 quarts fresh turkey broth
2 large carrots (peeled and sliced in 1/4 inch rounds)
1 large yellow onion (chopped )
2 -3 large celery ribs (trimmed and sliced thin)
1 cup flour
1/2 pint heavy cream
2 turkish bay leaves
1/4 cup chopped parsley
salt and pepper
1 tsp tabasco sauce

Directions:

Lay out bacon in the bottom of a large stock pot over low heat. Render bacon slowly until nearly crisp but while grease is still very liquid (about 10 minutes).
Add onions, carrots and celery and cook until nearly soft. Turn up heat slightly if necessary (about 10 minutes).
Add potatoes to vegetables and mix well.
Sift in flour slowly, stirring constantly, until flour and bacon grease make a roux.
Add salt, pepper and hot sauce.
Add stock to cover vegetables (no more than 1 over).
Stir, add bay leaves and bring to a boil.
When just at boiling, reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are cooked through but not mushy (20-25 min.).
Add clams and increase heat until just boiling then remove from heat.
Stir in cream.
Ladle to bowls and garnish with parsley.
