Ingredients:
- 1 pound clamshell (washed)
- 1 cup minced onion

- 500 ml of water

Procedure:
- In a large skillet, add water and bring it to boil. Once the water is boiling, add the onions, celery, potatoes, and carrots. Add water to cover and cook over medium heat until tender.
- Meanwhile, in a large, heavy saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour until smooth. Whisk in cream and continuously stir until thick and smooth.
- Once the vegetables are tender, add the clamshells and cook in low heat until the shell is slightly open. After that, quickly add the cream mixture and mix it well until well combined.
- After that, stir in vinegar, and season with salt and pepper. Please take note that you must not overcook the clamshells.
