Directions:
Melt 3 tbsps. butter in the bottom of a large pot. Add the chopped bacon and cook over medium-low heat until bacon begins to brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add the onions and garlic and cook, about 10 minutes. Add the clam juice, bring to a boil and simmer uncovered, until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.

In a small saucepan, melt the remaining 8 tbsps butter and whisk in the flour. Cook over low heat for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Whisk a cup of the hot broth in to the butter/flour mixture, then pour this mixture back into the pot. Simmer for a few minutes until the broth is thickened.

Add the milk and clam and heat gently for a few minutes to cook the clams.
