Aunt Wink’s New England Clam Chowder

I always thought this was a hard recipe to make growing up, but gave it a try recently and it’s easy peasy! Best served on a chilly day with your favorite people.

• 2 T Flour

Instructions

• In a large pot, cook chopped up bacon on medium heat until browned.
• Add onion and cook until soft (maybe 5 minutes).

• Add peeled/ chopped potatoes and bring to a boil.
• Lower heat and allow to simmer until potatoes are soft.
