Steps:

• Place vegetables, bacon and butter in a 5 qt sauce pot. Saute over medium heat until vegetables are tender. Be careful not to brown or scorch. When vegetables are tender, add flour to make a roux. Cook for two minutes, allowing flour to cook while stirring occasionally. Add clam juice and dairy products. Stir by using a wire whisk. Add fresh garlic, black pepper, chopped clams and clam base. Cook over low-medium heat stirring occasionally to prevent chowder from scorching. Cook for two hours or until chowder is brought to desired thickness. Notes: Use a crockpot if available. Also, clam juice can be added to thin chowder down if it gets too thick. Source: Old Fisherman's Grotto
