Number Of Ingredients 7

1 can(s) new england clam chowder/soup
1 can(s) manhattan clam chowder/soup
2 medium potatoes, baked in microwave
6 ounce(s) beer
2 tablespoon(s) butter, unsalted
1 teaspoon(s) herb de provence
- saltine crackers

Steps:

Dump both cans of Chowder into a medium pot. Do not dilute.
Turn the heat to medium-high.
Dice the cooked potatoes. I leave the skins on but you can peel them. Add them to the chowder.
Stir in the herb de Provence.
Add the beer. I use Rolling Rock Pale Ale or Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer. You can use vegetable stock or a vegetable bouillon cube and 10-12 oz of water.
Stir occasionally until the chowder comes to a boil. As soon as it boils turn off the heat but leave the pot on the stove eye.
Add the butter and stir until it is melted. Serve with Saltine or Oyster Crackers.
