Ingredients:

Serving

8 slices of bacon, chopped
1 medium cooking onion, chopped
2 celery stalks, diced
2 carrots, diced ( my addition)
1/2 cup of chardonnay or other white wine ( substitute chicken stock if you prefer.)
1 cup of cream (i use 10 percent .)
1 cup of milk
2 five-oz cans of clam meat (i use a 500 ml jar of bottled prince edward island bar clams, but i realize not everyone is so fortunate.)
2 large bay leaves (i think 2 smaller ones or 1 large bay leaf is sufficient.)
1 tsp of fresh thyme leaves
1 cup of grated baking potato
1 can of unsweetened evaporated milk
1/4 cup of chopped flat leaf parsley (i do not always have this on hand so often omit it.
salt and pepper

Directions:

Brown the bacon until crisp in a thick-bottomed soup pot. Pour off half of the fat. Add the onions and celery with a splash of water and sauté for a few minutes until soft.
Add the white wine, cream, milk and the juice from the clams (reserve the actual clams for the end so they don’t toughen). Add the bay leaf, thyme and grated potato; bring the mixture to a slow simmer. Continue simmering for fifteen minutes until the grated potato softens, releasing its starches and thickening the chowder base.
Add the reserved clam meat, evaporated milk and parsley. Bring back to heat. Taste the chowder and add enough salt and pepper to season it. Serve immediately with your favourite biscuits!
