Stephanie's clam chowder

This is an adaptation of a celery soup recipe - http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/celery-soup-51246210. I left the fresh dill sitting out at room temperature for a while to learn that dill doesn't like that. I already had the recipe half cooked so I tried something else and it came out as a tasty clam chowder.

  • 1 whole thing of celery

  • 1 white potato

  • 1 yellow onion

  • 8 oz butter

  • salt & pepper

  • tarragon

  • bay leaves

  • garlic

  • 3 C chicken broth

  • 2/3 C heavy cream

  • desired amount of canned chopped clams

1. Chop the celery, potato, and onion. Discard the celery leaves and the immature inner portion. Peel the garlic cloves

2. Add the butter and fry the celery and onion in a large pan or pot over medium high heat. You will be cooking until the onion is translucent. About half way through the cook add the potato and smash the garlic in.

3. Add the 3 cups chicken broth and stir. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat to medium low, and simmer covered 10 - 15 minutes or until the potatoes are soft when fork tested.

4. Remove the mixture from the heat and food process half to two thirds of it. Add the food processed mixture back to the pan.

5. Add the heavy cream and clams, including any clam juices from cans. Return heat to medium high. Stir frequently and add salt, pepper, bay leaves, and tarragon. Season to taste and cook until desired taste and temperature is reached.

//redo the spreadsheet and form, try doing it the way you usually do to see if that gets rid of the unwanted second title in the heading of the sheet. To get it to look like the other pages. Got of the garish purple format for the form, so go back to other pages and do so.
