Brattens Boston Clam Chowder

My niece called yesterday for this recipe, so I decided to post it here. It is easy to make but very good tasting.

2 (6 1/2 oz) cans minced clams
1 cup chopped onion (chopped fine)
1 cup diced celery
2 cups diced potatoes
3/4 cup butter or margarine
1/4 cup flour
1 quart half & half cream
1 1/2 tsp salt
white pepper to taste

Drain juice from clams and pour juice over veggies. Add enough water to barely cover. Simmer until tender. Melt butter. Add flour and blend. Then add cream, cook until thick and smooth. Add undrained veggies and clams. Heat thoroughly. Enjoy!! I like vegetables so I added 2 cups diced carrots.
