Lion House Clam Chowder

This is one of our favorites and really good in a bread bowl!

1 c onion finely chopped
1 c celery finely chopped
2 c potatoes finely chopped
2 cans 6 ½ oz. each, minced clams with juices
1/2 c butter
1/2 c flour
1 qrt half and half
1 ½ tsp salt
Pinch of pepper
Drain clam juice and pour over veggies in pot. Add enough water to barely cover and simmer. Cover and simmer over medium heat until tender. In the meantime, melt butter, add flour. Blend. Cook, stirring constantly. Add cream, cook and stir with wire whip until smooth & thick. Very important. Add undrained veggies and clams. Heat through. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serves 8.
