Ingredients
-
1 large onion, chopped (about 2 cups)
1 1/2 cups chopped celery
2 Tablespoons butter
1/4 cup flour
6 cups 2% milk
3 Tablespoons Better than Boullion clam base
3 cans chopped sea clams (reserve juice)
1 bay leaf
Directions
Saute onions and celery in butter in a dutch oven for about 5 minutes, or until softened. Meanwhile, measure out milk separately, and add and mix with the milk the drained clam juice and clam base. Gradually sift flour into vegetable mixture in pot over medium heat as your stir well to avoid clumping. Then, gradually add milk mixture and stir well, making sure soup does not boil (or it will curdle). Turn to high or medium high and stir frequently or constantly until soup is very hot, but NOT boiling (watch carefully). Add the potatoes and bay leaf. Cook for about 20 minutes on medium, again being careful not to allow it to boil, then add clams. Cook on low for another 5-10 minutes.
