I can not believe that I haven’t shared this recipe yet! Sometimes I just take for granted that all of our favorite meals are already here! This is one of my favorite soups to make. It a very hearty and filling meal in a bowl and comes together quite quickly. Be careful of the potatoes — if you get too many this quickly becomes potato soup instead of clam chowder.

- 1 small onion, finely diced
