- 2 cups chopped clams (I use canned)

- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, medium size, diced

- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 28 ounces canned whole tomatoes, drained then chopped
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 -3 dashes Tabasco sauce (optional)
Directions
- In a large pot, saute bacon until brown and crispy. Pour off 1/2 the fat. Add the onion, carrots,celery, thyme and parsley and saute for about 3 minutes (or until softened). Add tomatoes, tomato paste and garlic, cook for 2 minutes. Add wine and clam nectar. Bring to a boil. Add the potatoes, reduce heat, and simmer for about 10 minute or until potatoes are tender. Stir in clams and cook for a few more minutes (to heat the clams). Serve with nice crusty rolls.
