Clam chowder is a big favorite in my family. Everywhere we travel, we have to try the clam chowder. The first question is always, “Do you make your clam chowder homemade?” If the answer is “yes,” then we definitely place an order. It can be made so many different ways. The best is when it’s thick and creamy, has plenty of clams and is not overwhelmed with potatoes.
Ingredients needed:
turkey bacon (or regular) onion celery salt, dried thyme and bay leaf garlic fresh or canned clams potato clam juice skim milk all purpose flour
Sprinkle each serving with the bacon.
Even though this is a low fat clam chowder, it’s still creamy and has plenty of clams. I used canned clams, and it always turns out wonderful. Using skim milk mixed with a little bit of flour helps to thicken the chowder instead of using rich cream.
This recipe calls for using turkey bacon. Turkey bacon is not for everyone. It has a much different flavor than regular bacon. You can certainly choose to use regular bacon for this recipe, if you’d like. The turkey bacon lightens it up, but if you just use a smaller amount of regular bacon, I’m sure all will be fine with the result and it will still be in the realm of a low fat clam chowder. Enjoy!
