{market streets} clam chowder

THIS IS AMAZING!! i'm not even kidding i could eat the WHOLE pot!!

6 Tbsp melted butter

1/2 cup flour

2 C. diced potatoes

1/2 C diced celery

1/2 C. diced onions

1/2 C. diced green pepper

2 cans (61/2 oz) snow's chopped clams with juice

1 1/4 tsp. black pepper

2 1/2 tsp. slat

1 1/4 tsp italian seasoning

3 bay leaves

1/2 tsp tabasco sauce

6 Tbsp white cooking wine

1 C. water

2 C. half and half

2 C. heavy whipping cream 

Combine melted butter and flour in oven proof container and bake @ 325 for 30 min (turns light golden brown and is kinda crumbly). Simultaneously, in large saucepan combine remaining ingredients except half and half and whipping cream. bring to a boil and simmer until potatoes are thoroughly cooked. Remove bay leaves and stir in butter-flour mixture. stir until thick. Mixture will be slightly less thick then cookie dough. Remove from heat, stir in half and half/whipping cream until blended. heat to serving temperature, stirring occasionally. 

*this chowder is pretty thin. 

Delicious in sour dough bread bowl!
