Directions
Start by heating the bacon in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. The bacon should be crispy, about 6 minutes. Next add the leek, onion, celery and carrot and saute for about 2 minutes, until softened. Add the salt, pepper, bay leaves and thyme. Then add the flour, stir and cook for another 2 minutes. Stir in the clam juice and add the potatoes. Bring the chowder to a boil and then reduce it to a simmer. Allow the chowder to simmer for about 11 minutes, until the potatoes are tender. Add the last of the ingredients, the clams, cream, parsley. Bring the chowder to a simmer again. Finish by removing from heat and serving immediately.
