Clam Chowder

1 cup onions finely chopped
1 cup celery finely chopped
2-3 cups potatoes chunked
2 cans minced clams and juice
3/4 cup butter
3/4 cup flour
1 Qt milk or half and half
2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sugar
Freshly ground pepper

Drain clams and pour clam juice over veggies. Add enough water to barely cover vegetables in a small sauce pan. Simmer until tender. Melt butter and add flour and blend. Add milk and stir constantly until smooth and thick-(you're making a white sauce.) Add undrained veggies and clams and simmer. Add a little more milk to thin it out if desired. Top with freshly ground black pepper. Serve with a hunk of your favorite bread or saltines go great with chowder. 6-8 servings.
