My wife makes a simple, Killer "Clam Chowder"

Patty's Clam Chowder:

1 lb crisped and diced bacon
1 large can cream of mushroom soup
1 1/2 lb cut up taters
2 cans minced or diced clams
1 cup evaporated or regular milk
1 can drained yellow corn
1 whole onion, diced

Peel and dice the potatoes and boil in a 6-8 quart pot until done.
Add all the other ingredients and continue to cook until it boils, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes (or until throughly heated again).

Serve in bowls and top with the crackers, cheese and french fried onions. (the kind that comes in a can)
