Homemade Old Fishermans Grotto Clam Chowder

Ingredients

• 1 carrot, diced
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 1 medium potato, diced (I used a relatively large potato, so if that's the case, you can cut down on flour)
• 1 stalk of celery, diced (and if you're like me and dislike celery, dice even finer pieces so they disappear when you cook it)
• 1/2 lb of bacon (I used 1/4lb Canadian bacon and 1/4lb regular to try and cut down on the fattiness)
• 16 fl oz clam juice, approx 2 cups (or 480ml ...which 500ml wouldn't change much either)
• 1 1/2 cup of all purpose flour (honestly 3/4 cup is plenty if you use a large potato)
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 cups of whole milk
• 2 cups of heavy cream (I would change this to just regular fat free milk or 2%)
• 2 cups of half and half (yah... this is basically the same as cream + milk mixed but who knows maybe it makes a difference...)
• 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
• 1 lb of clams, chopped
• 1/2 tsp of clam base (optional, and I didn't even know what it is so I skipped it altogether)
• 1 stick of butter (scary! I couldn't bring myself to do it...so I used half)
• salt as needed
