Directions:

In medium saute pan, melt butter. Add celery and onion and saute until tender. Set aside.

Drain, then rinse clams well, but do not discard liquid. Strain liquid through a fine sieve to remove any sand, and reserve.

In soup kettle bring water to boil. Add spices, potato, clam base, clams and their strained juice and cream soup base. Let simmer 30 minutes.

Add reserved vegetables and heat through if needed. Remove from heat. Remove bay leaf, then serve garnished with parsley.

Cook's Note: Soup base is available in packets or 2-pound containers. Packets hold around 2 1/2 cups. Using this amount of cream soup base will produce a very thick soup as prepared at the restaurant. For a thinner soup add less of the cream soup base.
