Yea!!! I guess that means I passed the chowder test!
Here is the recipe so You can try it out for your self.
1 cup chopped yellow onion
4 cups chopped potatoes ( 1 inch)
3 cloves minced garlic
1 cup chopped celery
3/4 stick Butter, Melted
3/4 cup flour
2 (10oz) cans whole baby clams
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
16oz container of Half & Half ( I used fat free)
1/2 tsp sugar
1 tsp parsley
I started off by chopping up my potatoes, onion, celery. To a large pot I added these plus the garlic. I then added the juice from the clams & then just enough water to cover the mixture up. I then turned on High to reach a Boil, then turned it down to simmer and put on the lid. I had to cook for about 23 mins for my potatoes to be tender. I then added the Half & Half, mix well.
In microwave safe bowl add the butter, melt! and then add the flour to that. stir well and then disk into the pot for cooking potaoes. I then added my clams, salt, pepper, sugar & parsley. Simmer until it thickens up.
Turn off and serve.!
( I added in a little bit of green onion for taste, you could also add some hot sauce if you prefer)
