Soup-Clam Chowder

Clam Chowder
Prep Time: 25 Minutes
Cook Time: 25 Minutes

Ready In: 50 Minutes
Ingredients:
3 (6.5 ounce) cans minced
clams
1 cup minced onion
1 cup diced celery
2 cups cubed potatoes
3/4 cup butter

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 quart half-and-half cream
2 tablespoons red wine
vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
ground black pepper to
taste
Directions:
1. Drain juice from clams into a large skillet over the onions, celery, and potatoes. Add water to cover, and cook over medium heat until tender.
2. Meanwhile, in a large, heavy saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour until smooth. Whisk in cream and stir constantly until thick and smooth. Stir in vegetables and clam juice. Heat through, but do not boil.
