Clam Ciao-dah!
Ok, so the photo is appalling, but I haven't gotten the knack of my phone's camera yet. About a week ago I was thinking about soup, but didn't want a clear broth (for once!). I had recently picked up some canned clams and decided to use those to make a very quick chowder.
First sweated a chopped shallot in some fat, then added flour to the mix and cooked that until light tan. In goes 1 cup of hot milk, whisking so no lumps remain, and then added more hot water to the desired consistency. Green onions, freshly chopped, and a few carrot shavings were also added to impart some color to the white-on-white base.
I drained the clams and rinsed them thoroughly to remove most of the salt and "canny" flavor, then added them to the soup, along with S & P to taste. Topped with croutons, it was a nice little meal for one. :-)
