1/4 cup cut-up bacon or lean salt pork
1 medium onion, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
2 (6 1/2-ounce) cans minced clams, drained and liquid reserved
1 medium potato, diced (about 2 cups)
Dash of pepper
2 cups milk


1. Cook and stir bacon and onion in 2-quart saucepan over medium heat until bacon is crisp.

2. Add enough water, if necessary, to reserve clam liquid to measure 1 cup. Stir clams, liquid, potatoes and pepper into onion mixture. Heat to boiling; reduce heat.

3. Cover and boil until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in milk. Heat, stirring occasionally, just until hot (do not boil).
