This recipe originally came from the Milk calendar. It's very good, especially with the garnish.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter
2 onions, finely chopped
1/4 cup flour
4 cups milk
3 medium potatoes, peeled & diced
1 teaspoon thyme
1/4 teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 (5 ounce) cans clams (with juice)
3 slices bacon, cooked crisp
1/2 cup crouton (sourdough are really good)
3 green onions, chopped
Directions:
1. Melt butter & cook onions until soft, but not brown. Stir in flour & cook, stirring, for 5 minutes over medium-low heat (to get rid of raw taste).
2. Cool slightly & whisk in milk. Bring to a boil. Add potatoes, thyme, salt and pepper. Lower heat, cover & simmer for 20 minutes (until potatoes are tender).
3. Add clams with juice & heat through. Do NOT boil. Taste & adjust seasoning (if necessary).
4. Serve & garnish with bacon, croutons & green onions.
