WESTCOAST STYLE CLAM CHOWDER
A clam chowder soup to be enjoyed. Uncle Bill's Tips: Fresh baby clams can be used instead of canned clams. In order to do this you will need 4 pounds of baby clams in the shell. First, steam clams in 2 1/2 cups water until they open. (Discard any clams that don't open.) Save the liquid and pour through a very fine sieve to remove any particles. Extract clams from the shell and add to soup; as directed in the recipe. You can also use the left over liquid in place of clam juice.

Steps:
- In medium skillet lightly fry bacon over medium heat; drain off fat and discard. Add onions to bacon and saute approximately 3 minutes. Do not brown.
- In a large stock pot add water and bring to boil. Once boiling add carrots, baby clams (including liquid), clam juice, potatoes, salt and pepper.
- Using a food processor or blender, puree tomatoes. Add to stock pot along with bacon-onion mixture and bring to boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes or until carrots and potatoes are tender. Do not overcook.
- Stir in celery and ketchup and cook for another 5 minutes.
- Slowly add milk, stirring constantly while bringing just to boiling.
- Finally, add instant potato flakes and cook for 3 minutes.
- Adjust seasoning to taste. If soup is not to your desired thickness add more instant potato flakes, about 2 tablespoons at a time.
- Remove soup from heat and let sit for about 15 minutes before serving.
