Directions
1. Chop fresh clams, if using, reserving juice; set clams aside. Strain clam juice to remove bits of shell. (Or, drain canned clams, reserving juice.) If necessary, add enough water to reserved clam juice to equal 1-1/2 cups. Set juice aside.
2. In a large saucepan cook celery, onion, and carrot in hot oil until tender. Stir in the reserved 1-1/2 cups clam juice and the 8 ounces clam juice. Stir in potatoes, thyme, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 10 minutes. Stir in undrained tomatoes, clams, and bacon. Return to boiling; reduce heat. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes more or until heated through.
3. Makes 4 servings (6 1/2 cups)

Loved this recipe! Made it a few months ago for hubby and friends and they couldn't get enough. This time decided to decrease the clams and add fish and shrimp with the clams for more of a seafood chower. This recipe is great for a crowd, just double or triple the recipe.
