A rich tomato bacon soup.So warm and filling on those cold winter nights. My cousin, who cooks at a Hospice Center shared this with me.To make it quick, I use pre cooked bacon. Use real butter, not oleo. Your finished soup will be so much better.I like to serve this with a green salad and a hard roll.Sourdough rolls are great, but any crispy crust bread will do.

  • Use a good quality clam juice. This will also make a big difference in the flavor of your chowder.
  • Don't overcook the clams. They should be cooked just until they are opaque.
