I was craving clam chowder one night and remembered my mom taught me how to make it once. It really only takes few ingredients and its EASY:-white or red potatoes will do maybe 3-4 depending on how much you like (chop in squares)
-flour (2 cups give or take)
-milk (2 cups give or take)
-heavy cream
-bacon (finely chopped)
-celery (chopped)
-onion (yellow, chopped)
-canned chopped or whole clams
-parsley (for garnishing)
-salt and pepper
briefly, i just sauté the onions and celery first, add the bacon, put in potatoes and enough cold water to cover the water with some juice from the canned clams. After the potatoes are cooked you add 2 cups of milk and 2 cups of cream (depending how much you want to make) 2 heaping scoops of flour (whisk the milk and flour and cream first in a separate bowl so their are no flour chunks), add the clams at the very end since they are already cooked, add salt and pepper as needed.
Remember, you can always add flour if you like it thicker just make sure to always add a little milk to the flour and stir separately.
