4 slices bacon
1/2 large onion, chopped (about 1 Cup)

3 TBSP brown rice flour* (or 1 1/2 TBSP cornstarch or 2 TBSP arrowroot starch)
2 Cups half-and-half
1 Cup milk
* Since this is just used to thicken the soup, you can use a variety of flours or starches. We used superfinely ground brown rice flour, but cornstarch works very well, as does arrowroot starch.

4.Then add the clams (with liquid) and half-and-half to the saucepan 5.In a small bowl, whisk the flour (or starch) into the milk, and add to the saucepan. 6.Stirring frequently, cook over medium heat until the chowder thickens — about 5 minutes.
