    Kegel's Inn

    List of Ingredients




    -1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
    -4 ribs celery, diced
    -1 small onion, diced
    -2 quarts water
    -1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
    -3/4 teaspoon dill seed
    -1/2 teaspoon black pepper
    -8 pink peppercorns
    -2 bay leaves
    -1 medium baked potato, peeled and diced
    -1 teaspoons clam base
    -1 can (13 ounces) chopped clams (see note)*
    -4 cups powdered potato cream soup base (see note)**
    -chopped fresh parsley for garnish

    Recipe



    -In medium saute pan, melt butter.
    -Add celery and onion and saute until tender.
    -Set aside.

    -In soup kettle bring water to boil.
    -Add spices, potato, clam base, clams and their strained juice and cream soup base.
    -Let simmer 30 minutes.
    -Add reserved vegetables and heat through if needed.
    -Remove from heat.
    -Remove bay leaf, then serve garnished with parsley.
    -Makes about 12 servings.

    *Notes: Drain, then rinse clams well, but do not discard liquid. Strain liquid through a fine sieve to remove any sand.

    **Soup base is available in packets or 2-pound containers. Packets hold around 21/2 cups. Using this amount of cream soup base will produce a very thick soup as prepared at the restaurant. For a thinner soup add less of the cream soup base.
