Canned Clam Chowder Creation

I love clam chowder, canned chowders are good,
although I find them a little lacking for my taste.
How I fix that is by adding some cooked fresh
vegetables to the pot before adding in the soup.
Also a slice of smoked bacon for good taste.

Ingredients:
1 slice smoked bacon, diced
1 small onion, peeled and diced
1 fresh carrot, peeled and diced
1 fresh celery stalk, diced
8 fresh grape tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon dried chives
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (12 ounce) can clam chowder
soda, Ritz or oyster crackers

Directions:
Place bacon in a soup pot and cook
on medium heat until brown crisp.
Toss in the pot the onions, celery and
carrots to cook until fork tender.
Add to the pot the grape tomatoes,
and the canned clam chowder,
bring to serving temperature and season
with ground black pepper to taste.
Serve with oyster crackers.
