2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 cup chopped onion |
1 cup shredded carrot |
2 cups chicken broth |
pepper |
2 (6 1/2-9 3/4 ounce) cans chopped clams, undrained |
3 ounces packages garlic instant mashed potatoes (i use trader joe's brand) |
2 cups milk |
Directions:
1. Heat olive oil over medium heat in large saucepan.
2. Add chopped onion and shredded carrots and saute until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Add chicken broth and pepper and bring to a boil.
4. Stir in clams, potato flakes, potato seasoning packet, and milk.
5. Cook, stirring or whisking constantly, until thoroughly heated and smooth.
6. Do not allow to boil.
