This is pretty good! I threw it together while my husband tossed a salad. I used a leek instead of an onion and added a rib of chopped celery. Also, I couldn't find 8 oz cans of clams, so I used four 6.5 oz cans. It is a little on the thin side, but it has very nice flavor, especially on a cold, drizzly December evening when both husband and I ended up working late!
