1 TBS Butter
1/2 White Onion Minced
3 TBS Dry Vermouth
1 Can or Jar of Clams in Juice
1 Cup Heavy Cream
Salt
White Pepper
Sugar
1 Can Cream of Potato Soup
1-3 TBS RedBeards Hot Sauce
In a medium saucepan over medium heat melt the butter. Next add your onions and sauté until tender – about 3-5 minutes. Do not allow the onions to brown. Carefully add the Vermouth and stir in with the butter and onions using a wooden spoon. Simmer the three ingredients until the Vermouth is reduced by half – about 3 minutes.
Strain the clams and save the juice. Pour the claim juice into the pan and reduce slightly. Add the cream and reduce by half. Follow up with salt, white pepper and sugar to taste. Time for the cream of potato soup to get in the game – bring to a simmer. Toss in the clams and cook until the clams are warm. Pour in the Redbeards to taste and serve. Garnish the dish with parsley.
Enjoy.
