  • In a Dutch oven or large pot, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy.
  • Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set it aside, leaving the bacon grease in the pot.
  • Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot and sauté for 5 minutes or until the onion is translucent.
  • Add the diced potatoes and chopped celery to the pot and stir to combine. Pour in the chicken broth and clam juice, and bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to low and let the chowder simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and all-purpose flour until smooth. Pour the mixture into the pot and stir until well combined.

  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Ladle the clam chowder into bowls, and top with the cooked bacon and chopped parsley.
