Preparation

Step 1

In large sauce pan, saute onion and celery in one stick of butter until soft. Add remaining ingredients (except wine) and simmer at least 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Do not allow milk to boil. Before serving, add one cup of wine, if desired. I find that that the flavor of this chowder improves after it has cooled and then reheated. It makes quite a lot and I generally add more milk for subsequent meals so that it doesn't get too thick!
