Ingredients

  • 6 slices bacon
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 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
  • 1/4 teaspoon seasoning salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

  • 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • 5 drops hot pepper sauce
  • 2 (6.5 ounce) cans minced clams, drained
  • 1 (6.5 ounce) can large shrimp, drained

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.
