- In a Dutch oven or soup kettle, saute, celery and onion in butter until tender. Add two tablespoons of flour and cook until lightly browned. Add wine, clam juice and 2 cups of half and half or milk, Add the potatoes, carrots, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 25 minutes. Add clams; cover and simmer for 5-15 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
while the soup simmers I slice up crouton size pieces of french bread and toss with olive oil, fresh herbs, garlic powder, cracked pepper and parmesan cheese and toast in a 475 degree oven. top the chowder with the croutons and call it a day")
I love this recipe it reminds me of San Francisco and pier 39! I sometimes will serve in bread bowls but I prefer the croutons.
