This is a thin, simple chowder which reminds me of my summertime favorite on Cape Cod.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
2 (8 ounce) bottles clam juice
1 baking potato, peeled and diced
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 (6.5 ounce) cans minced clams, drained
salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions:
1. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook onions in melted butter until clear, 3 to 4 minutes.
2. Pour clam juice into the saucepan. Add the potato; bring the mixture to a boil. Cook at a boil until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
3. Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir heavy cream into the mixture; add clams. Continue cooking until the clams are warmed, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
