Clam Chowder

Get 1 quart of clams and broth from clams plus 4 cups of water.
Strain broth many times to get rid of sand.
Keep clams aside to clean (most time consuming part).
Add to claim broth and water:
2 large stalks of celery cleaned and diced and put leaf part of celery in whole.
2 cups of diced baby carrots.
1-1/2 cups of diced potatoes rinsed.
3 - 8oz cans of tomato sauce
1 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of pepper
Bring broth and water to a simmer with vegetables, salt, pepper and sauce.  Let simmer (do not boil as you lose some of your liquid) until vegetables are tender.  Approximately 1/2 hour and then add cleaned clams into broth and vegetables for approximately 10-15 minutes.

Clams have  pocket of dark brown stuff, I remove that part and clean the rest very good.
