4 slices bacon
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 bottle (1 cup) clam juice
2 cans (6 1/2 ounces each) minced clams, undrained
2 cups diced potatoes
1 quart water
2 tablespoons butter
1 can (13 ounces) evaporated milk
1 small can (about 1 cup) cream-style corn

Instructions:

Brown bacon in a heavy skillet. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon; crumble and set aside. To the hot bacon grease, add onion, clam juice, minced clams, potatoes, and water; simmer until potatoes are tender. Add butter, milk, cream style corn and salt and pepper to taste; heat almost to boiling point. Sprinkle crumbled bacon over each serving.
