Steps:

• Place the potato in a small microwave safe bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Microwave for two minutes.
• Place carrot, onion, par-cooked potato, celery, butter and bacon in a Dutch oven. Saute over medium-high heat until vegetables are tender (set timer for 10 minutes). Be careful not to burn the bacon. Taste to make sure vegetables are cooked through (especially carrots and potato) before moving on to step 2.
• When vegetables are tender and bacon is cooked through, stir in flour to make a roux. Reduce heat to medium. Stir with a rubber scraper and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently to cook off the raw taste of the flour.
• Add clam juice, milk and cream. Stir by using a large wire whisk to break up the roux and incorporate into the liquids. Immediately proceed to step 4.
• Stir in the garlic, salt, pepper, thyme and clams. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly with the rubber scraper (scraping the bottom to prevent burning), then reduce to medium low (simmer) for 5 minutes or until the chowder achieves the desired level of thickness. T
• Taste and check the potatoes for doneness. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
• Serve with sourdough bread.
