1
In a large pot, bring 6 cups of fresh clam juice to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the 2 pounds of fresh clams for 5 minutes. Remove the clams with a slotted spoon, chop, and set aside.
2
In a 6-quart Dutch oven or similar-sized pot, cook the 4 chopped bacon slices over medium-high heat until the fat renders and the edges begin to crisp.
3
Add the 2 cups of diced onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 3 to 5 minutes.
4
Reduce the heat to low, and add the 1 cup of diced carrots, 1 cup of diced celery, and 1/3 cup of all-purpose flour, stirring constantly for 3-5 minutes to avoid lumps.
5
Stir in the 1 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 6 cups of reserved clam juice, 1 1/2 cups of vegetable stock, cubed russet potatoes, and 1 bay leaf.
6
Cover the pot and bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and let cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
7
Remove the bay leaf, and stir in the 2 cups of heavy cream.
8
Allow the chowder to simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes until the soup has thickened to a desired consistency.
9
Add the reserved chopped clams and cook for an additional 2-4 minutes.
10
Remove the pot from heat, and serve the chowder with oyster crackers as a garnish.
