Directions:

  3. Add potatoes to vegetables and mix well.
  4. Sift in flour slowly, stirring constantly, until flour and bacon grease make a roux.
  5. Add salt, pepper and hot sauce.
  6. Add stock to cover vegetables (no more than 1 over).
  7. Stir, add bay leaves and bring to a boil.
  8. When just at boiling, reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are cooked through but not mushy (20-25 min.).
  9. Add clams and increase heat until just boiling then remove from heat.
  10. Stir in cream.
  11. Ladle to bowls and garnish with parsley.
