Cheater Clam Chowder

Tweet

I used to make clam chowder entirely from scratch. But the older I get and the more money I have in my bank account the less inclined I am to do it from scratch. But my cheater clam chowder still works out to be just fine. I start out by cutting up three sticks of celery. Then I chop up some onions and red potatoes. I open a can of mushrooms. I put a little bit of oil in the pan and cook up the onions, celery, mushrooms, and potato. First with a little bit of oil, then I add a little bit of chicken broth and cook for about 10 or more minutes. Next I open up two cans of clams and add that in, keeping the juice. Stir that up and cook for about another 5 or so minutes. Then I add a couple of cans of Progresso New England clam chowder. This time it was Progresso because it was on sale. I stir it all up and then add one pint of heavy whipping cream, about two tablespoons of oregano and 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning. I have already peppered the pre-mixture. Simmer this for about an hour and this is some delicious cheater clam chowder.
