Simple recipe... great flavor...

1 cup		diced onion
1 cup		diced celery
2 cups		diced red potatoes (leave skin on)
2 cans		clams (reserve juice)
1 tsp		salt
		WHITE SAUCE:
½ cup		butter
½ cup		flour
1 pint		whole milk
2 cups		nonfat milk
½ tsp		salt
		red wine vinegar

1	Place vegetables in large saucepan. Pour clam juice over veggies (don't add the clams yet); add water just to cover and simmer until tender.
2	Make white sauce when veggies are done. Melt butter; add flour, mixing well with a wire whisk. Add milks and whip until thick. Add clams. Heat through.
3	Serve in soup bowls with a splash of red wine vinegar and a chunk of crusty sourdough bread.
