oh! I forgot about my quick chowder recipe.

diced onion
diced carrot
diced celery
chopped raw bacon
olive oil
diced potato
clams w juice.
water or clam juice
instant potatoes

in large pot, saute onion, carrot, celery and chopped bacon until bacon is cooked through and is starting to brown well. Add the whole can of clams with juice.. and then add bottled clam juice or water. Add diced potatoes. Simmer well... add instant potatoes and milk to thicken. Salt and pepper to taste.

Options: Instead of clams/clam juice
1 can Creamed corn (corn chowder is wonderful)
1 box or 2-3 cups of frozen mixed veggies (I rinse in hot water first)
1 cup or more of ham, chicken broth
