Clam Chowder - Manhattan

3 slices bacon, finely diced
1 16 oz can diced clams
1 cup finely diced celery
3 cups water
1 cup chopped onion
1 1-lb can diced tomatoes
1 cups diced potatoes
1 cup finely diced carrots
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tp dried thyme, crushed
dash pepper

Partially cook bacon. Add celery and onion and cook until tender. Add remaining ingredients. Cover; simmer about 35 minutes.

Blend 2 Tblsp flour with 2 Tblsp cold water. Stir into soup; cook and stir to boiling.

1/2 lb bacon, cooked
1 med onion, chopped
3 Tblsp flour
2 cans whole kernel corn, with juice
2 cans creamed corn
2 potatoes, cooked and cubed or 2 cans potatoes, diced
2 cups Half-n-Half
2 cups milk
salt & pepper, to taste

Drain bacon, and reserve 2 Tblsp grease. Gently brown onion in bacon grease. Mix in flour. Stir in remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, then simmer gently for 15 minutes. Add more milk as necessary.

4 medium yellow onions, sliced
3 Tlbsp butter
1 Tlbsp oil (it keeps the butter from burning)
Fry gently until onions are "limp"

1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar (to "brown" the onions)
Cook for 30 minutes... stirring often

Stir in 3 Tlbsp flour

Add 2 cans beef broth, and heat through

Pour into four large soup mugs
Top with pieces of dry bread - french or sourdough
Put grated gruyere or swiss cheese on top
Pop the bowls under the broiler until the cheese is melted and sorta crusty. (If you pile the cheese high in the bowl, it will melt over the edge and brown a little... and this is a good thing !)

Brown hamburg; mix in remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Simmer slowly til veggies are tender (30 minutes).

In large saucepan, combine 4 quarts water and all of the above ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until beans are tender, adding more hot water as necessary.
