This is my family's favorite soup for fall. With it's creamy texture and quick prep time, it's a mid week busy night winner! I add some fresh sourdough bread and have no problems getting everybody together around the dinner table!

How To Make creamy clam chowder soup

  • 1
    Place all veggies in medium saucepan. Drain juice from clams and pour clams over veggies.
  • 2
    Add enough water to barely cover veggies and simmer. Cook over medium heat until potatoes are fork tender. (About 20 minutes)
  • 3
    In meantime, melt butter. Add flour and blend. Cook one or two minutes over medium heat so that flour doesn't taste raw.
  • 4
    Add half-and-half and milk. Cook and stir until smooth and creamy. Use whisk to blend. Continue stirring until soup is thickened.
  • 5
    Add vegetables and clams (water too!) to the soup. Add seasonings to taste. Lastly add vinegar.
  • 6
    Heat thoroughly and enjoy!
