Instructions to make New England Clam Chowder:
In a pan, cook pre-chopped bacon over medium heat until fat is rendered and slightly brown. Remove bacon to a paper lined plate to soak up grease. Add the chopped bacon and drippings to a large pot. Melt in 1 Tbsp. butter over medium heat.
Increase heat to medium high and add celery and onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes or until onions are soft. Add potatoes, garlic, red pepper flakes and sauté 30 seconds. Sprinkle in flour and cook an additional 1 minute. Stir in chicken broth, clam juice, chicken bouillon, bay leaves and all seasonings. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Simmer on low, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are very tender but not mushy.
Discard bay leaves. Stir in heavy cream and bring to a simmer to heat through. Remove from heat and stir in drained clams. Taste and add salt/pepper to taste. (You may or may not need additional salt depending on how salty your clams and bacon are.) For a thinner or less chunky soup stir in additional heavy cream/milk or chicken broth.
