Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion, finely diced
  • 2 celery stalks, (reserve tender leaves) trimmed, quartered lengthwise, then sliced into 1/4-inch pieces
  • 3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cup chicken or vegetable stock
  • 2 (10-oz) cans chopped clams in juice
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 lb Idaho potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

1

Heat the butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and celery and saute until softened, mixing often.

2

Stir in the flour to distribute evenly.

3

Add the stock, juice from 2 cans of chopped clams (reserve clams), cream, bay leaves, and potatoes and stir to combine.

4

Bring to a simmer, stirring consistently (the mixture will thicken), then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook 20 minutes, stirring often, until the potatoes are nice and tender.

5

Then add clams and season to taste with salt and pepper, cook until clams are just firm, another 2 minutes.
