I have been using this recipe so long I don't remember where it originally came from.

1/4	lb.	diced bacon, fried and drained
1	lg.	onion, diced
2		carrots, thinly sliced
3	ribs	celery with leaves, thinly sliced
1	tbsp.	fresh parsley ( or dried)
1	lg.	can tomatoes, broken up, with juice
11/2	tsp.	salt
		black pepper
1		bay leaf
1	tsp.	thyme
3		potatoes, diced
2	cans	clams with juice (use 3 if you like more)

Put all ingredients in the Crockery Pot.  Stir to blend.  Cover and cook on high for 1 hour, then turn to low for 8 hours. 

Yield:  4 servings

NOTE:  If you don't have time for the 1 hour on high, just turn on low and cook 10 hours.
