Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, drain the juice from the clams; set the clams aside.
• Combine clam juice with the onions, celery and potatoes.
• Add enough water to barely cover and simmer, covered, over medium heat until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
• In a large saucepan, melt the butter.
• Add flour and stir in to the butter.
• Slowly whisk in the warm half-and-half.
• Cook and whisk until smooth and thick, about 5 minutes.

MO'S CLAM CHOWDER

Steps:

• Directions: 1In a large pot, sauté the bacon slices until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove them from the pan.2In the bacon grease, sauté the onions with a pinch of salt and cook them for about 5 minutes.3Add the potatoes to the onions as well as the flour and stir the flour well. Cook the potatoes for about 10-12 minutes and the potatoes start to soften. Season the potatoes with salt, pepper, lemon pepper, and parsley. You may crumble the cooked bacon and return them back to the pan if desired, but Mo's doesn't keep them in their soup, just as a flavoring. I personally add them as not to waste them!4Pour in the milk and the water and cook to a boil. Turn the stove down to med heat and cover with a lid. Continue to cook for about 15 minutes and the potatoes are tender.5Pour the soup into individual bowls and serve with a dollop of butter and a sprinkle of paprika.

CLAM CHOWDER LIKE SKIPPERS OR IVARS

Steps:

• Add your diced potatoes,celery, 1or 2 pk. of french onion soup mix (this will really determine your richness),and the juice from your cans of clams. (leaving the clams to add at the very end of the recipe or they will get chewy) and 1-2 tbl. liquid smoke, now add just enough water to cover maybe an inch over your potatoes and celery. Boil for 10 minute no longer or you won't have any potatoes for your chowder.
• now add the rest of your ingredients, including your clams and simmer on low for at least 1 hours if not longer, (crockpot on low is awesome too) stirring frequently. serve with some tasty sourdough or toasted mauie onion chips, on top.
