He finely chopped celery and onion, diced potatoes, and sauteed the mix in some olive oil. While the veggies were cooking, he made a roux, then added heavy cream, broke up the lumps, then added 1% milk. In went the veggies to cook for a while, then he added a few cans of chopped clams (rinsed!), the strained liquid from the clams, and an additional bottle of strained clam juice.
He simmered the soup slowly, stirring frequently. (Creamy soups have a tendency to stick to the bottom of the pot.) Pretty soon the soup thickened nicely from the combination of the potatoes and the flour in the roux. Salt and pepper to taste, and serve with crusty bread.

Very nice! I wish my husband would do that for me!
Hey CC - I was pleasantly surprised :)
Soup, soup, soup - so good lately. My husband won't cook me soup - but he'll certainly eat soup I make. He'll make tea and Chicken Curry for me.
Hi Denise! I've been on a soup kick lately, it's a good thing my husband contributed. Now if I could just get him to make curry...
i made vegetable soup today but it was mainly to get rid of the vegetables in the fridge before they went bad! the husband and child liked it though!
CC - Double score. No waste, family likes it. Love it when that happens.
