Meanwhile, here is a recipe for clam chowder from The James Beard Cookbook (1970 edition):

1 and 1/2 cups minced clams (this is about 2 cups of fresh shucked clams)

3 or 4 slices salt pork or bacon, cut into small cubes

2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced

1 medium onion, peeled and chopped

Salt and pepper

2 cups light cream

Pinch of thyme (optional)

Paprika (optional)

Shuck the clams, then wash them well and chop them.

Meanwhile, in a large saucepan cook the potato in salted boiling water until it is soft. Drain the cooked potato, saving the liquid, and return the potato water to the saucepan and put on the stove to cook down for a bit.

Fry the salt pork in a large skillet. When it is brown, remove the salt pork and saute the onion in the fat which remains in the pan.

Add the salt pork, onion and potatoes to the potato water along with the chopped clams and their liquid.

Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer gently for about 10 minutes. Season to taste with the salt and pepper and slowly add the cream.

Heat just to the boiling point, but do not let it boil (it'll curdle the cream).

Stir in a tiny pinch of thyme just before serving and dust the top of each bowl with a sprinkle of paprika.

HI MARILYN, WE ARE AROUND THE SAME AGE

I USED TO MAKE THIS WHEN MY FAMILY WAS STILL HOME

CUT UP POTATOE and carrott 1 FOR EACH PERSON

cut up onion

boil these in water like you were making mashed potates.,

when tender, pour off half the water and add a can of carnation.,

depends on how many veg. you use, if you need more use whole milk,or left over juice,

you can use can minced clams if you cant buy fresh. or its a last minute meal. 1 or 2 cans ( depends if you like clams or the taste of them in a soup,

put it all in one pot and cool slowley, for 1/2 to 1 hour. add salt & pepper and butter like mash potatoes. . its even better after its in the refrigator all nite, like chilie and potatoe soup gets, nice and thick.

have fun eating
