This easy recipe for bacon clam soup makes me happy on so many fronts. It has a creamy, dreamy broth that is just rich enough to make you close your eyes with satisfaction, and just light enough that you don't feel weighed down. It's chock full of fresh corn and bits of celery and scallions and chopped garlic. It's swimming with perfect little clams. And if that wasn't enough to convince you, it is laced through with crispy chopped bacon. If this isn't soup heaven, I don't know what is, and it takes less than 30 minutes from walk in the kitchen to ladling into your bowl. Let's make it!
