Potato Chowder

This recipe is for clam chowder, but like I've said before, seafood is a no go around here. But if you like it, add the clams in.

Ingredients:
2 cups potatoes cubed
1 cup celery diced
1 onion diced
1 quart half and half
3/4 cup butter
3/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp sugar
salt and pepper to taste

Put all three veggies in a pot
Add enough water to just cover
Boil until potatoes are tender
In a sauce pan mix butter and flour to make a rue
Add half and half and mix
Put the half and half mixture in pot with veggies (Do NOT drain the water)
Add sugar and salt and pepper

We are going to put 2 cups corn in ours for a little extra. I like frozen corn the best. If you add thaw the corn first.

If you want the clams, add one can of clams with the juice.

This is thick enough that you can put it in a bread bowl. I love that! I'm just going to make rolls for this.
