New England Clam Chowder

New England Clam Chowder.  I tend to like my chowder with lots of bacon, clams, and corn.  If you don't happen to like it that way, simply cut some of those ingredients out.

Ingredients:

• 8 slices bacon, diced
• 1 1/2 cups chopped onion
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 4 cups peeled and cubed potatoes
• 2 tbsp salt
• ground black pepper to taste
• 3 cups half-and-half
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 4 (10 ounce) cans minced clams
• 2 cans of clam juice
• 
  
• Optional- These are ingredients you can add
• Corn- About 1 can

3 garlic cloves

flour- add for texture
