2 med. onion, diced
3 med. potatoes, diced
1 can clams (save liquid)
1 can evaporated milk
1 1/4 c. milk
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
3 tbsp. butter

Boil potatoes and onion until tender. Drain, save enough liquid to equal amount drained from clams. Add clams, salt, pepper, liquids and butter. Simmer a few minutes.

Flavors blend better if chowder is allowed to cool and then reheated just before serving.
