Homemade Clam Chowder

1 cup onion chopped
1 cup celery chopped
2 cups potatoes chopped
3/4 cup flour
3/4 cup butter
2 pints half and half
1 1/2 tsp salt and pepper (each)
2 6.5oz cans clams (minced)
2 1/2 tsp vinegar

Add: onions, celery, and potatoes in large pan. Pour clam juice over them. Add just enough water to cover vegetables. Cook until Veggies are tender (Medium heat).

Add: 1 1/2 cartons of the half & half, clams, salt and pepper, vinegar and butter. Bring to a boil. Add thickener. (Thickener is 3/4cup flour mixed with the remainding 1/2 carton of the half & half).

Enjoy!

Note: I typically do not like anything seafood but I love this chowder, in fact my daughter claims it to be her favorite food. One adjustment to the recipe above that I make is I put the whole bundle of celery in (for more veggies in the soup).
