Instructions to make Nation Clam Chowder:

1. In a large non-stick pan, over medium/medium high heat add the bacon and cook until crunchy, set aside on a paper towel to soak up excess oil
2. Using the bacon oil in the pan, add the diced red potatoes and celery, cook until softened stirring occasionally
3. Add the chopped white onion and green onions to the pot and sautee until softened (you might need to add some butter to the pan if the oil is all soaked up)
4. Add the juice (not the clams) of BOTH cans of the whole and chopped clams, and bring the onions and potatoes to a boil
5. Add all your seasoning, and squeeze 1/2 the lemon in. Cook until the potatoes are fully cooked through, stirring occasionally (most of the clam juice will soak up)
6. Add the cans of cream of celery and mushroom, and stir all ingredients together well (add a couple dashes of hot sauce if desired)
7. Slowly add the heavy cream, a little at a time and stir each time until desired consistency is reached. I usually use 3/4ths of the carton
8. Turn heat down to medium low
