Dice the bacon and cook in a large pot over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon and set aside, leaving the fat in the pot.
Dice the onion, celery, green bell pepper, and mince the garlic. Add to the pot and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
Peel and dice the potatoes. Add the diced potatoes, clam juice, chicken broth, thyme, and bay leaf to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes.
Stir in the diced tomatoes and chopped clams, and continue to simmer for another 5 minutes. Be careful not to overcook the clams as they can become tough.
Return the cooked bacon to the pot, season with salt and pepper to taste, and remove the bay leaf before serving.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or oyster crackers if desired.
