an easy Clam Chowder recipe from Mona Abel

On Saturday's Between You and Me, Willie called in and talked about his love of clam chowder. He was looking for help for a recipe or a place that had good Clam Chowder.

We heard from Mona Abel who is a Recipe Diva / Former Go-Go Dancer and author of "To Mom With Love: Ethnic Recipes and Family Favorites"... she sent in an EASY clam chowder recipe for Willie....

Saute l/2 onion and 1/2 diced green pepper in 2 or 3 T. butter. Add 2 cans of cream of potato soup and 2 cans of half and half. Add 2 small cans of clams and some juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. I make this for the holidays.

I have a great Jimmy Dean Potato Sausage Soup if you want it.

Keep up the good work. These are both in my first cookbook, but unforunately, they are almost gone. Not too many second cookbooks left either. M
