Lil Rhodey Chowdah

• 1 - 3 ounces can smoked baby clams
• 1/4 cup diced yellow onion
• 1 clove garlic - minced
• 8 ounces clam juice (I got Bar Harbor - their products are great)
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/2 cup diced red potato
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh chives
• ground pepper
• a little squeeze of lemon
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

1. Drain most of the oil off of the clams
2. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and stir until they just start to sweat, then add the garlic and sweat that too - you don't want them to brown.
3. Add the clam juice, water and potatoes and bring to a simmer. Add a bit of pepper. Simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender. Add in the clams, heat through and turn off the heat.
4. Stir in the herbs and lemon and serve. Lunch! Soup's on!
