  • 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 1 large potato, peeled and diced
  • 2 cups clam juice
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper

DIRECTIONS

  1. Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.
  2. In a large saucepan over medium heat, place the vegetable oil, onion, carrots and celery. Slowly cook and stir 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
