Wow! this is "My Best Clam Chowder!" I took a hint from the other reviews, although I kind of winged it from the beginning. I had a pound of frozen clams in the shell and steamed them in 1/4 tablespoon of butter and 1 teaspoon of minced garlic. After making sure they were coated,I added 1/4 cup of white wine, covered and steamed for 4 minutes till they opened. I drained the juice and added the juice from one 10.5 ounce can of minced clams. Thinking I didn't have enough clam broth, I added 1 1/2 cup of chicken broth to both the drained clam juice and buttery/garlic wine clam juice. I then fried 3 strips of bacon, removed from pan then added the veggies with the clam broth. Yes, I sauteed the veggies in the bacon grease, fattening but soooo tasty! (then added the clam broth as instructed) After whisking the butter, flour and cream mixture, I added all the veggies and clam broth. I crumbled the bacon and added both the minced and steamed clams, salt and pepper to taste then the red wine vinegar. This was in one word, FANTASTIC! It wasn't that hard nor expensive, this is a definite keeper!! Thanks!
