1/2 qt clam juice (i used 3- 8 oz bottles)
1 1/2 cup flour (2 1/4 c.)
2 cup milk (3 c.)
2 cup heavy whipping cream (3 c.)
2 cup half-and-half (3 c.)

Preparation
 
(I made 1 1/2 times this amount - see parenthesis for amt.)

Place vegetables, bacon and margarine in a 5 quart sauce pot. Saute
over medium heat until vegetables are tender. Be careful not to brown
or scorch.

When vegetables are tender, add flour to make a roux. Cook for two
minutes, allowing flour to cook while stirring occasionally.

Add clam juice and dairy products. Stir by using a wire whip.

Add fresh garlic, black pepper, chopped clams and clam base. Cook over
low-medium heat stirring occasionally to prevent chowder from
scorching. Cook for two hours or until chowder is brought to desired
thickness.

If a crockpot, or small steam kettle is available, it is recommended.
Also, clam juice can be added to thin chowder down if it gets too
thick.

Note: This soup is the BEST clam chowder I have ever tasted! It is
thick and very rich and fattening! I didn t use the clam base since I
don t even know what that is. Also, I didn t need to simmer it as
long as suggested. I cooked it for about 1 1/2 hours. The chowder
needs to be stirred OFTEN, probably about every 5-10 minutes or so or
it will stick to the bottom of the pot. Also, I one-and-one-halved
times d it, using about 3 lbs. of chopped clams instead of the
recommended amount. I also served it with the little soup "clam"
crackers. It made about 5 quarts this way. Deb C.
