Whenever we go out to eat, my husband will always check to see if clam chowder is one of the choices for soup that night. He loves clam chowder, and so when I make my clam chowder, it is always a treat for him. This clam chowder is my favorite, and need I say it is my husbands favorite too! I think the little extra addition of bacon brings it over the top for us! -Robin

1 cup diced celery
6 medium potatoes, peeled and diced into 2 cups1/2 inch cubes
2-3 (6 1/2oz.) cans chopped clams

2 tsp. salt
pepper to taste
1/2 tsp. sugar
