We got this recipe from our friend Randi B. several years ago and have been making it ever since!
4 slices bacon, diced
2 green onions, tops included, chopped
4 med. potatoes, peeled and diced
3 Tbsp flour
2 c. bottled clam juice or milk
2 (6oz) cans minced clams, including liquid
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp white pepper
1 c. whipping cream
Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
In large saucepan, saute bacon until crisp.
Add green onions and potatoes, saute a few minutes.
Sprinkle with flour.
Add claim juice or milk.
Stir to blend well and bring to boil.
Simmer, stirring until potatoes are tender about 20 minutes.
Add salt and pepper.
Finally add clams with liquid and whipping cream.
Heat soup, stirring just until simmering.
Do not boil or clams will toughen.
Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.
