- Cook the bacon in a 4-qt pot over medium-high heat, stirring often, till the fat is rendered and the bacon is crisp, about 3 min. Throw away all but 1 Tbsp. of the fat.
- Add in the onion, celery, thyme, salt and pepper to taste. Cook till the onion is softened but not browned, stirring often, about 4 min. Stir in the flour. Cook 1 minute.
- Slowly stir in the clam juice. Cook, stirring, till hot, about 2 min. Add in the potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, till the potatoes are tender, about 20 min.
- Stir in the lowfat milk and cook till warm but not boiling. (This can be made a day ahead to this point and refrigerated. To serve, gently reheat the soup till warm. Add in more lowfat milk if the soup is too thick.)
- Stir in the corn. Cook 1 minute. Stir in the scallops. Cook, stirring often, till the scallops are just opaque, about 2 min. Taste; adjust the seasoning. Serve warm, garnished with parsley or possibly chives, if using.
- This recipe yields 4 main-course servings.
- Comments: Shrimp would be a delicious substitute for the scallops in this chowder.
