| Directions | In a stock pot, boil potatoes, celery, carrots and onions until vegetables are soft. Meanwhile in a small saucepan, make a light roux - melt butter (do not substitute margarine), add flour and creole seasoning, cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Heat clam juice over medium heat. When juice is hot, add roux to thicken. Drain most of water off vegetables leaving approximately 1/2 C., add cream cheese and gently mix. Do not over stir. Add the broth mixture to vegetables. Add the chopped clams and milk. Cook slowly for 10-15 minutes until flavors meld together. Sprinkle top with fresh parsley when serving. Serves 8-10. |
