good thing you clarified that the bacon is limp.
otherwise there'd be a lot of cbidders getting sick from eating raw bacon

Frankie, just curious, iffin' you're eating a bowl of NE Clam Chowdah and run across a piece of bacon, what do you do? Do you stop eating the soup or finish it up?

I've asked a similar question to my vegetarian friends and they've come back with both answers.

Manhattan Clam Chowder

2 8 oz cans of clams
2 8 oz bottles of clam juice
4 slices bacon
1 onion chopped
1 large celery stalk chopped
1.5 cups water
1.5 cups chopped tomatoes
1 large potato diced
1 medium carrot diced
2 Tbsp chopped parsley
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1 bay leaf
1 Tbsp tomato paste (add more if you want)

Cook the bacon until limp (the bacon is limp)
Add onion and celery and cook until tender
Drain the clams and just add the liquid to the pot (save the clams, RIP Wheelrite)
Add everything else to the pot except the clams
Cook 30 minutes
Add the clams
Cook 5 more minutes
Add salt and pepper to taste

Serve with French Toast!
