Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring to combine. Add the heavy cream, potatoes, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and let the chowder simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Stir in the clams and cook for another 5 minutes.
Remove the bay leaves and adjust the seasoning, if needed.
Serve the chowder hot, garnished with the reserved bacon and chopped parsley. Enjoy with crusty bread or oyster crackers.
