Chop up the bacon or the pork and simmer slowly, until fat is
released....chop up bacon, add onions, garlic, peppers, and simmer in the
fat, add the bacon back into the pot, along with the fish stock, cook this
for about five minutes, and add the vegetables. Cook this until the
vegetables are tender and add the tomato soup, undiluted, cook some more,
and add the tomatoes, and about five minutes before serving add the can of
clams.

I also added about 3/4 lb of fresh cod, chopped up along with the
clams....season to taste, and add the herbs...let sit for about five
minutes, make soda bread, or tea biscuits, or just fresh home made bread or
whatever...sea biscuits are fine(if you soak em) Do the tea biscuits, or
soda bread while the chowder is cooking! Great stuff.
