1 c. chopped potatoes
1 c. chopped celery
1 c. chopped onion
2 cans clams, minced or baby
3/4 c. butter
1/2 to 3/4 c. flour
2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. white pepper
1 qt. half and half

Drain clams, pour juice into pot with vegetables, add water to barely cover and simmer 20 minutes or until vegetables are tender. In another pot make white sauce of butter and flour, slowly add half and half, stir in seasonings an simmer until it thickens. If too thick you can add milk. Add drained vegetables then clams. DO NOT bring to boil after adding clams. Very rich and delicious.
