New England Clam Chowder
This week I made New England clam chowder. In olive oil saute half an onion till translucent add 3/4 cup of celery chopped fine and saute for 5 more minutes. Add 4 cups of water and one bottle of clam juice and 3/4 cup of carrots chopped fine. Add the juice of three cans of minced clams, (reserve the clams till the end), 1/2 teaspoon of thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of ground bay leaves, salt and pepper. Add one dried cayenne pepper chopped fine. Cook the soup for at least half an hour till carrots are very soft.
