Steps to make New England Clam Chowder:

1. Bring 1 cup of wine and 1 cup of water to a boil in a large pot. Add clams, cover, and cook for five minutes.

4. Remove clams from broth and set aside. Discard any that did not open.
5. In large pot, cook bacon until crispy. Drain all but two tablespoons of grease.

7. Add garlic and potatoes and mix well with veggies. Add broth and bring to a boil.
8. Simmer contents until potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes. Mash some of the potatoes against the side of the pot for a thicker consistency of broth.

10. Set aside for an hour or so, this will allow flavors to fuse. Add salt and pepper for more flavor, if necessary.
11. Serve with a pat of butter and chopped parsley. Enjoy!
