Fry the bacon until crisp, then remove it from the pan and set aside, keeping the rendered fat.
Add two tablespoons of butter to the bacon fat, then sauté the chopped onion, diced celery, and minced garlic until softened.
Peel and dice the potatoes, then add them to the pot along with thyme, salt, pepper, and flour. Stir well with a whisk to combine.
Pour in the vegetable broth and one cup of milk, stirring continuously.
Add the clam juice, then cook the potatoes for 10 to 12 minutes, or until tender.
Stir in two cans of chopped clams along with their juice, reserving some juice for adjusting seasoning if needed.
Just before serving, stir in equal parts milk and half-and-half cream along with the clams to avoid overcooking and toughening them.
Serve the chowder topped with the reserved crumbled crispy bacon.
