Ingredients:  
4 (6.5 ounce) cans minced clams
1 cup minced onion 1/2 med
1 cup diced celery - 4 med stalks
2 cups cubed potatoes - 3-4 med
1 cup diced carrots - 4 thin 6" long

Directions:
Directions:
Drain juice from clams into a saucepan over the onions, celery, potatoes and carrots. Add just enough water to cover (about 1 cp), and cook over medium heat until tender.

Meanwhile, in a large, heavy saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour until smooth. Whisk in cream and stir constantly until thick and smooth. Stir in vegetables and clam juice. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer 10 min, do not boil.

Turn off the burner, stir in clams and let it sit 5 min. If they cook too much they get tough. When clams are heated through, serve.

Personal Notes:
You can use milk but it won't be as good as with the half and half.
