2 tbsp. butter
1 can snow minced clams, drained (retain juice)
1 finely chopped onion

Saute. Add:

3 cans cream of potato soup
1 can cream of celery soup
1 qt. half and half

Bake at 200 degrees for 4 hours or on low crockpot for 4 hours. Salt and pepper to season. Use clam juice only to thin if soup gets too thick. A dash of curry anyone?
