cup
Diced Celery
1

Instructions
Boil the potatoes until they are tender. Drain them well, and divide in half. Leave half the potatoes as they are and mash the other half. Set aside.
Put the bacon in a medium pot over medium heat. Cook until brown and crisp. Drain all the fat but 1 tbsp.
Add the celery and onion into the pot with the bacon and cook for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables are soft and the onions are translucent.
Add the milk into the pot and cook just until it is hot.
Stir the mashed potato into the milk, then add in the diced potatoes, and thyme. Turn the heat down to low and simmer the chowder for about 5 minutes.
Add the clams into the chowder, season it with salt and pepper to taste, and serve.
