This is great on a cool, rainy day. One of the few soups I can get my picky teen to eat!
Ingredients:
4 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 medium onions, chopped
1/2 cup butter or margarine
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 quarts (8 cups) milk
3 cans (6-1/2 oz. each) diced or chopped clams, drained
2 tsp. salt
1/2 - 1 tsp. ground sage
1 tsp. ground thyme
1/2 tsp. celery seed or celery salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
minced parsley
Directions:
1. Place potatoes in a saucepan and cover with water; bring to a boil. Cover and cook until tender. Meanwhile, in a large pot, sauté onions in butter until tender. Add flour; mix until smooth and cook for a minute. Slowly stir in milk (use a whisk, if necessary). Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and somewhat bubbly (this will take a little bit of time - do not walk away, the bottom will begin to stick).
2. Drain potatoes; add to large pot. Add clams and remaining ingredients; heat through.
3. Serve with oyster crackers, or saltines with butter, or you can even serve it in a bread bowl.
4. *I am not a big fan of sage so I only use a 1/2 tsp. If you like the taste, go ahead and use the whole tsp.
