• Clams 600g
• Potatoes 250g
• Bacon cubes 80g
• Celery 1 coast 
• White onion 1\2
• Garlic 1 clove
• Fresh parsley a bunch
• Fresh cream 200ml
• Vegetable broth 1\2lt
• Butter 30g
• Salt pepper qb

Let's carefully wash the clams under running water and put them in a pot with the lid together with a glass of water and let them take heat for a couple of minutes on the fire so that they open.
In the meantime we peel the potatoes and cut them into mirepox (small cubes) and finely chop garlic, 
celery and onion and put them in a saucepan with 80g of bacon to brown over low heat for a couple of minutes and add the 250g potatoes and 1\2lt of vegetable stock.
Drain the clams and remove the shell, making sure there is no sand residue and add them to the stock pot and continue cooking until the potatoes are cooked for about 12-15 minutes.
At this point add the cream and butter, add salt and pepper and let it cook with the lid for another two minutes.
Tips:

• Serve hot with a sprinkling of parsley and some croutons (bread croutons).

• Or a hot corn flour muffin with butter and parsley.
