== Description ==
A Sneaky Kitchen recipe from Karen Danielson. More details at [http://sneakykitchen.com/Recipes/clam_chowder.htm The Sneaky Kitchen]

== Ingredients ==
* 5 cans condensed [[canned soup|cream of potato]] soup (10¾ oz.)
* 6 cups fat free [[half-and-half]]
* 10 oz can whole baby [[clams]], undrained
* 1 tbsp dried minced [[onion]]
* 1 tbsp dried [[parsley]] flakes
* ½ tsp [[garlic powder]]
* ½ tsp seasoned [[salt]]
* [[hot sauce]] (to taste)
* [[salt]] (to taste)
* [[black pepper]] (to taste)
* 2 tbsp [[butter]], melted
* minced fresh [[parsley]]

== Procedures ==
# Heat soup with half-and-half in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. 
# Add next 6 ingredients. Season with [[salt]] and [[pepper]]. Reduce heat to low. Simmer gently until thickened, stirring frequently, about 15 minutes. 
# Drizzle [[butter]] on top. Ladle soup into bowls. Garnish with the fresh minced [[parsley]]. If the chowder isn't thick enough to suit, you can do one of two things: 
# Stir in instant [[potato flakes]] and keep adding and stirring until chowder reaches desired thickness, or, 
# Stir in Wondra [[flour]], a little at a time, and continue adding and stirring until chowder reaches the desired thickness. If thickening with [[flour]], cook an additional 2–3 minutes so no raw [[flour]] taste remains.
