How To Make best ever clam chowder

Step 1

Drain juice from clams and pour over potatoes. Add enough water to cover. Cook for about 10 minutes then add sugar, vinegar and salt. Cook until potatoes are tender.

Step 2

Melt butter, saute celery and onions; then add flour and blend. Add half/half and milk stirring constantly. Add potatoes (do not drain) and mix thoroughly. Add clams and cook for another 5 minutes or so (since the clams are generally already cooked you are basically heating them up). Garnish with crisp bacon
Step 3

Serve steaming hot with your favorite bread.
