This is so easy to make and is so good (especially in a bread bowl!) I keep a few cans of clams in the cupboard so that I can make it anytime!

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 (6 1/2 ounce) cans minced clams
1 cup onion, diced
1 cup celery, diced
2 -3 cups potatoes, diced
3/4 cup butter
3/4 cup flour
1 quart half-and-half
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Dice celery, onion, and potatoes (I use a food processor for the onion and celery, but if you want larger pieces that is fine too).
  • Place in saucepan.
  • Drain juice from clams and pour over the vegetables.
  • Add enough water to cover the vegetables.
  • Cook on medium heat until potatoes are tender (about 20 minutes).
  • In another medium to large pot melt butter.
  • Add flour and half & half.
  • Cook mixture stirring constantly until thick and smooth.
  • Add the vegetables with the juice and clams to the cream sauce.
  • Add salt, pepper (to taste), and sugar.
  • Cook a few minutes longer until heated through and serve.
