2 cans of minced clams in their juice
1lb mild white flaky fish cut into cubes(I used cod)
1/2 lb of cleaned shrimp
6 slices of bacon (diced)
1 medium onion minced
1 green bell pepper minced
2 large carrots minced
2 stalks of minced celery
1/2 tsp of dried thyme

3-4 cups of water
2 cups of diced white potatoes
chicken bullion as needed
salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp red chili flakes (or to taste)
1/3 cup of all purpose flour
2 cups of half and half
Note: I recommend you take the tails off the shrimp before adding it to the soup.
Directions:
In a large soup pot, fry up your bacon until crispy. Drain the bacon and set it aside. Reserve the bacon drippings to fry the vegetables.
I recommend you use a food processor and "chop" your carrots, onions, bell pepper and celery to a fine dice. I wanted the vegetables to give flavor and give some "body" to the soup without actually having to be eaten in bite size pieces.
Add these vegetables to the bacon drippings in the pot and fry until softened.
Next add your dried thyme, salt, pepper, chili flakes and flour. Cook for 2-3 minutes while stirring.
Now add your two cans of clams with their juice. Cook for a minute.
Now add your water, chicken broth and diced potatoes. Bring to a boil and cook until potatoes are almost tender. You will want to season the broth again because the potatoes will absorb some of the salt. I used the chicken bullion above to season the broth. When the potatoes are almost cooked through add your fish.
Finally add the shrimp and 2 cups of half and half. Allow to boil for 2-3 minutes. Taste for seasoning one last time and your soup should be done.
Serve hot. Enjoy.
