2 Bay Leaves
1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
1 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
1 8-oz Bottle Clam Juice (or chicken/fish stock)

1 14-oz canned clams (with liquid)
1 cup cooked, small salad shrimp
1/2 cup cream
1/4 cup Chopped Parsley
2 tablespoons cornstarch + 1/4 cup water mixed into a slurry (optional)

Method

1
Place bacon, onions, potatoes, garlic, thyme, bay leaves, salt, pepper, clam juice and water into the inner liner of the Instant Pot.
2
Set the Instant Pot on high for 6 minutes. At the end of the cooking time, release all pressure.
3
Use a potato masher to roughly mash and thicken the soup.
