directions

Start by chopping all of the vegetables in the preferred sizes. In a medium saucepan, sautee chopped garlic, onions, celery, and potatoes. Add the reserve from the 3 minced clam cans but DO NOT add the clams yet, just the reserved water from the can. Bring to a boil and add the fish sauce and the half and half. Boil until the soup reduces a bit about (15 mins). In a separate bowl stir the cup of water and 3 tablespoons of flour together and pour into chowder. Finally, add the all of the clams. Stir frequently for about 5 minutes Add salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with herbs. Enjoy.
