Instructions: Cook onions and potatoes with tomatoes until tender. Add clams and heat thru do not boil (clams will get tough). Season to taste.

My mom had a note at the bottom that she uses thyme, fennel and a little basil for seasonings.

NOTES : My son hates clam chowder, but when he was down in Florida visiting my mom (he went for Speed week - him and my husband, I was home shoveling a lot of white stuff while they were soaking up the sun), he ate this and asked for more. When he got back home he told me I had to get this recipe from her, well she finally wrote it down (sort of). He now has informed me he wants me to make this for his work at X-mas time. I havent made it yet so I hope it tastes as good as my son claims. It is so damp and rainy here in Milwaukee this weekend you wouldnt even know it was May, so I am going to the store in the morning to make this. If anyone has any questions, I will have to call my mom in Florida and ask her.
