This is 'Hatteras style.' I work in a restaurant near the North Carolina coast and make this two times a week. I have scaled down the batch for home use. It is very simple. You can also use the bacon grease to saute the vegetables in.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 large onion , chopped
5 stalks celery , sliced
4 carrots , sliced
4 cups peeled , cubed white potatoes
2 cans minced clams , 16 ounce
3 quartss clam juice
1 teaspoon dried thyme
0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
8 slices crisp cooked bacon , crumbled

Instructions

In a large pot over medium heat, cook onion, celery and carrots in oil until they begin to soften. Stir in potatoes, clams, clam juice, thyme, pepper and bacon. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
