I've been making this clam chowder recipe for awhile. I really like it.
Clam Chowder
4 slices bacon, diced
1 cup chopped onion
3 cups diced potatoes
1 bottle (8oz) clam juice
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
2 cans (approximately 7 oz.) minced clams
3 tbsp. flour
2 cups half and half
1 cup milk
Cook bacon until crisp in a large heavy saucepan. Remove bacon. Add onion to bacon drippings, saute until softened. Add potatoes and clam juice, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Remove from heat. Add minced clams with their liquid. Whisk flour into milk, add to chowder with half and half. Add cooked bacon. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until clam chowder thickens and bubbles or about 3 minutes. Serves 4.
It sounds kinda complicated when reading it, but it's really very simple.

I live a stones throw from the beach here in the pacific northwest and never tire of clam chowder. The Manhatten and New england chowders are great. Just for variety I made a New England style chowder using coconut milk in place of milk and added some local chantrell mushrooms (any type mushroom would be fine) sauteed slivered leeks and fresh baby spinach. It was quite tasty.
