* For a really rich taste use nondairy creamer such as Mocha Mix.
Saute bacon until lightly browned. Add onion and saute until soft.
Add Potatoes, water and broth from clams. Simmer until potatoes are tender, add drained clams.
Add milk and margarine, serve when margarine is melted.
HEAT GENTLY, DO NOT BOIL!
