1/4 pound bacon (cooked and crumbled)

1 cups water
1 cup chicken broth
3 1/2 teaspoons salt ~Depends on your taste!
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup half and half
(reserved juice from clams) Filtered thru a coffee filter. See instructions.
3 tablespoons cornstarch or more if it needs to thicken more.
1 ear fresh corn, Microwaved for 3 minutes, leave husks on. Cut off corn just prior to serving. ( can use 1 can of corn in place)

Place all ingredients except half and half in a large pot. Cover, bring to a boil and simmer for 1 hour. Or until potatoes and onions are soft. Combine half and half with cornstarch until smooth. Add to pot, stir, and cook another 1/2 hr. Just before serving add Corn.
For a more Clam taste. I take a coffee filter and strain the juice. Add to pot!
Thicken to desired.
