A friend had us on a wild goose chase trying to find him a 51oz can of chowdwer from the Culinary Institute ..no one knew what we were talking about but he swears he purchased this on his last vacation...anyway I told him Ill make you home made chowder...the reason for this post. TIA

    Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
    -------- ------------ --------------------------------
    3 cans minced clams -- (6.5 ounce)
    1 cup minced onion
    1 cup diced celery
    2 cups cubed potatoes
    1 cup diced carrots
    3/4 cup butter
    3/4 cup all-purpose flour
    4 cups half-and-half cream
    2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
    1 1/2 teaspoons salt
    ground black pepper to taste

    1 Drain juice from clams into a large skillet over the
    onions, celery, potatoes and carrots. Add water to cover, and
    cook over medium heat until tender.
    2 Meanwhile, in a large, heavy saucepan, melt the butter
    over medium heat. Whisk in flour until smooth. Whisk in
    cream and stir constantly until thick and smooth. Stir in
    vegetables and clam juice. Heat through, but do not boil.
    3 Stir in clams just before serving. If they cook too
    much they get tough. When clams are heated through, stir in
    vinegar, and season with salt and pepper.

    I assume you don't want the Manhattan style? This isn't for the faint of heart:
    CHESAPEAKE CLAM CHOWDER (serves 8-10)
    3 oz shelled clams
    3 cups clam broth
    4 slices bacon
    4 TBL butter
    4 cups whipping cream
    2 TBL flour
    2 medium chopped onions
    2 1/2 cups diced raw potatoes
    1/4 tsp white pepper
    Salt to taste

    Drain all juice from clams & strain a couple of times. Grind clam meat.
    Cut bacon into 2" pieces & fry with onions until browned. Drain grease & place ground clams into a large soup pot; add enough water to cook potatoes & clams.
    When done, add clam juice, cream, bacon/onion mixture & seasonings. Add flour & butter to thicken, if necessary. Simmer gently until ready to serve. Garnish w/chopped chives.~~Of Tide & Thyme
