CLAM CHOWDER


Ingredients
**************
1 potato
Can of chopped clams or the equivalent of fresh (keep liquid if canned)
2-4 pieces of bacon
Small yellow onion
Parsley
1 tbsp. butter
Salt and pepper


Procedure
*************
Cut bacon up and brown it in a skillet with the chopped up onion. Drain grease. Put bacon and onions in soup pot. Dice the potato (leave skin on if you wish) Add the potato, the can of clams and their liquid, some parsley chopped, the butter and the milk. Let simmer until potatoes are tender. Season with salt and pepper.

NOTE: To thicken if you want a thick soup, add some instant potato flakes or some mashed potatoes. Serve piping hot with oyster crackers. ( Add a crab or shrimp Louie salad and some crusty, warm sourdough rolls and butter and you have a feast fit for a king!)
