Recipe Introduction

This is delicious on a cold winter or fall day... If thickened this is great in a bread bowl. :) I love mine with oyster crackers, and a BIG dill pickle.

List of Ingredients

2 cans whole clams, with juice
8 lg. potatoes, peeled and cubed into 1" squares
2 lg. onions, cut in half, then thinly sliced
2 qts. milk
1 can evaporated milk
1 stick margarine
salt and pepper, to taste



Recipe

In a lg. pot, put in potatoes, and onions. Add enough water to cover all. Add salt and pepper, and let come to a boil. Boil about 15 mins. Drain out water, until it is just covering all.

Add clams with juice, and evaporated milk, Stir.

Add stick of margarine, and stir as it melts to blend in. Heat for 20 mins on med. heat.

If you want to thicken the chowder, do so now, by adding about 1/2 c. flour into 2 c. cold water, mixing well to remove lumps, then add about 1/3 at a time into chowder, until you get desired consistency.

Add salt and pepper, to taste.

Makes a big pot.
