Canned clams from Costco

Directions:

• Peel, cut up & add potatoes to a large stock pot with chicken broth; boil until soft; set aside.
• In a separate large pan, melt butter & add flour, onion powder, garlic salt & all other spices; form a paste (a Rue) and heat over medium heat until bubbling. Slowly add milk & cream while stirring rapidly with a wire whisk to get the lumps out (only add more milk after all the lumps are out and it thickens). Now you have your white sauce. Good job!
• Take some of the broth and use it with the packet of powdered REAL potatoes to reconstitue.
• Add Mashed potatoes to the white sauce, this will thicken sauce & add more flavor.
• Now add to white sauce bay leaves, clams their juice, shrimp, crab & it’s juice, lobster, & scallops. Stir & let re-thicken for approx 5 minutes. Add white sauce mixture to your large stock pot with potatoes in it that you set aside earlier. Stir well.
• Turn down to low & stir frequently (so as not to scald the bottom of the pan)  and heat for 35-40 minutes; serve.
