3. Melt 6 tablespoons butter in pot over medium heat. Add onions, celery and thyme; cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Add flour, cook, stirring often, 2 to 3 minutes. Add reserved clam liquid, cook, stirring often, 5 minutes. Add potatoes, reduce heat to low and cook for an additional 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
4. Add cream and milk, bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring often, until slightly thickened. Add bacon and clams, cook 3 minutes or until heated through. Ladle into bowls and top each with a pat of butter.
48 Littleneck clams can be substituted for the Quahogs. Also, the recipe can be simplified and quickened by substituting Bumble Bee canned chopped clams and bottled clam juice and Oscar Meyer Bacon pieces. It won't generate the same saltiness of the sea flavor, but it is still delicious.
