Clam Chowder

More soup! This one was more complicated, but still easy. My mother guided me through this one by explaining how she would make it, and different variations I could try. I ended up with something like this:

1/2 large onion, chopped

1 tablespoon oil

4 cups golden potatoes

1/2 cup cream

3 tablespoons of flour

2.5 lbs. can of chopped sea clams undrained  (the can I used had 3lb. 3 oz and I didn't use it all)

Cook the chopped onion in the oil on medium low heat until the onions are translucent. Add 1 cup of water and potatoes. Add more water if needed to completely cover the potatoes. Boil the potatoes until cooked and add 1/2 cup cream mixed with the flour. Bring the liquid up to a slight boil to allow the flour to thicken. Add clams and juice. Serve immediately.
