Creamy Clam Chowder Soup image

This is my family's favorite soup for fall. With it's creamy texture and quick prep time, it's a mid week busy night winner! I add some fresh sourdough bread and have no problems getting everybody together around the dinner table!

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 c onion, finely chopped
1 c celery, finely chopped
3 can(s) (6-1/2 oz) minced clams
3/4 c butter beans
3/4 c flour
1 pt half-and-half
1 pt milk
1-1/2 Tbsp salt
1/2 Tbsp pepper
1 Tbsp wine vinegar
2 c potatoes, finely chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Place all veggies in medium saucepan. Drain juice from clams and pour clams over veggies.
  • 2. Add enough water to barely cover veggies and simmer. Cook over medium heat until potatoes are fork tender. (About 20 minutes)
  • 3. In meantime, melt butter. Add flour and blend. Cook one or two minutes over medium heat so that flour doesn't taste raw.
  • 4. Add half-and-half and milk. Cook and stir until smooth and creamy. Use whisk to blend. Continue stirring until soup is thickened.
  • 5. Add vegetables and clams (water too!) to the soup. Add seasonings to taste. Lastly add vinegar.
  • 6. Heat thoroughly and enjoy!
