Clam Chowder

From Gramma Jeffs, 1941. Is it really chowder with canned soup? Don't know, but I've got to experiment with the bacon.

All vegetables cut up, diced, very good.

• 1/4 pound Bacon
• 2 quarts Water
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 2 cups carrots
• 2 cups celery
• 2 cups onions
• 2 cup potatoes
• tomato soup, condensed
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon thyme
• clams and juice
• Flour paste
