Except for chopping up potatoes, onions, leeks, and celery everything else is pretty much a pantry item. We used canned minced clams, clam juice, the liquid from the clams, and some heavy cream. We made a big pot of it in the hopes that there would be plenty left over. Only problem is that we all liked it so much that each of us had two bowls! There was only enough left for John’s lunch on Saturday.
