Steps:
- In a large pot, sauté the bacon slices until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove them from the pan.
- In the bacon grease, sauté the onions with a pinch of salt and cook them for about 5 minutes.
- Add the potatoes to the onions as well as the flour and stir the flour well. Cook the potatoes for about 10-12 minutes and the potatoes start to soften. Season the potatoes with salt, pepper, lemon pepper, and parsley. You may crumble the cooked bacon and return them back to the pan if desired, but Mo's doesn't keep them in their soup, just as a flavoring. I personally add them as not to waste them!
- Pour in the milk and the water and clams with juice, and cook to a boil. Turn the stove down to med heat and cover with a lid. Continue to cook for about 15 minutes and the potatoes are tender.
- Pour the soup into individual bowls and serve with a dollop of butter and a sprinkle of paprika.

This is the best New England clam chowder recipe, ever! In the Pacific Northwest, we dig our own razor clams and I grind them for the chowder. Since these aren't readily available, the canned clams are perfectly acceptable. -Sandy Larson, Port Angeles, Washington

Tips:
- Use fresh clams. Fresh clams will give your chowder the best flavor. If you can't find fresh clams, you can use frozen clams, but be sure to thaw them before using.
- Don't overcook the clams. Clams are delicate and will toughen if they are overcooked. Cook them just until they are opaque and tender.
- Use a good quality clam juice. Clam juice is an important ingredient in clam chowder, so be sure to use a good quality brand. You can find clam juice in the canned goods section of most grocery stores.
- Add vegetables to your chowder. Vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, celery, and onions add flavor and texture to clam chowder. You can use any vegetables that you like, but be sure to chop them into small pieces so that they cook evenly.
- Season your chowder to taste. Clam chowder should be seasoned with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a splash of lemon juice or white wine for a little extra flavor.
Conclusion:
Clam chowder is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious clam chowder that your family and friends will love.
