Cooking instruction summary:

1. Steam clams: Place 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup white wine in deep skillet and bring to a simmer. Add clams, cover and cook over medium high heat until the shells are open (discard any that don't open). Cool and remove clam meat and keep in refrigerator until ready to use.2. Cook bacon until done in a Dutch oven or other heavy deep pot. Remove with slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Set aside until ready to use (I usually pop it in the fridge and take it out an hour or so before serving the soup).3. Cook the shallots in the pan with the bacon drippings over medium heat until soft, about five minutes. Add clam juice, remaining wine and potatoes. Simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. 4. Add canned clams and Old Bay and simmer for another 2-3 minutes. Add cream and simmer for another 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cool for about 10-15 minutes.5. If you like your soup a little bit chunky, scoop about about a cup of the solids, then puree the rest with an immersion blender or in your food processor (and if you like it smooth, puree the whole thing!). Return the solids to the soup and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. Put the bowls you are serving it in into the fridge as well.6. When ready to serve, stir in the clams from the shells, ladle soup into the chilled bowls, garnish with bacon and parsley and another grinding of fresh pepper and serve at once!

Food Joke

The car crash Rabbi Bloom and Father Michael get into a car accident and it`s a bad one. Both cars are crushed but amazingly neither of the clerics is hurt. After they crawl out of their cars, Rabbi Bloom sees the priest`s collar and says, "Just look at our cars - there`s nothing left, but we`re unhurt. You`re a priest and I`m a rabbi so it must be a sign from God. He must have meant that we should meet and be friends and live together in peace the rest of our days." Father Michael replies, "I agree with you completely. This truly must be a sign from God." Rabbi Bloom then says, "Look - here`s another miracle. Although my car is wrecked, this bottle of wine didn`t break. God must want us to drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune." He hands the bottle to the priest. Father Michael takes a few big swigs and passes the bottle back to Rabbi Bloom who puts the cork back in and hands it back to the priest. Father Michael asks, "Aren`t you having any wine?" "No. I think I`ll just wait for the police," says Rabbi Bloom.
