Delicious Homemade Clam Chowder

Bacon is the bomb in Baked Potato Soup, but I cannot manage to love it in clam chowder. So, this is a bacon-free clam chowder.

In fact, it calls for a stick of butter and and a quart of half and half. It tastes delicious, though.

Ingredients

– Onion – Celery – Butter – Garlic – Potatoes – Clam juice

Instructions

To make the first pot, saute celery and onions until they’re soft. Add a minced clove of garlic and saute it for 30 seconds.

Step: 1

Stir in a bottle of clam juice plus the juice from two cans of clams along with 4 cups of potatoes (I use red potatoes. Russets will be too mooshy.)

Step: 2

Step: 3

To make the second pot, melt 1/2 cup of butter and stir in 1/2 cup of flour. Cook and stir it until it’s bubbly.

Step: 4

Then gradually stir in 1 quart of half and half. Stirring regularly, bring it to a boil and boil for 1 minute.
