Clam Chowder

This is my Aunt Sharon's recipe. I haven't made it before, but I have had the clam chowder before...She emailed it to me and I wanted to post it before it gets lost in my 2,000 emails. I am going to try and make it next week. (*** Note...I did make this, see the attached comments for my opinions)

Clam Chowder

2 cans clams (undrained)
1 onion, diced ) simmer together in clam juice till barely tender
1 c. potatos, raw, diced )
1/2 c. celery, diced )

3/4 c. butter ) blend
3/4 c. flour )

1 qt. half and half, add to butter, cook to thicken, when sauce is nice and thick, add veggies with juice (do not drain) and add
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sugar
pepper to taste

  1. So I finally made this. It was good. My potatoes were a little firmer than I would have liked...so I would say cook a little longer than "barely tender". Also...it was not very "clammy" it was more of a potato chowder. I would have liked more clams.
