INGREDIENTS
6 oz Clams
1 medium Potato
1 stalk Celery
1 small Onion
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp All-Purpose Flour
1/2 cup Low-Fat Milk (2%)
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
Herbs and Spices to taste
PREPARATION
Clean and steam the clams until just cooked, then remove from shells if desired or serve them in shell.
Dice the potato into small cubes, slice the onion, chop the celery, and mince the garlic.
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the onions, celery, and garlic for about 3-4 minutes until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to form a light roux. Cook for an additional minute.
Add the diced potatoes and 1-2 cups of water or low-sodium clam broth if available. Bring to a simmer, allowing the potatoes to soften (approximately 10 minutes).
Pour in the low-fat milk and add herbs and spices (thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper) to taste. Stir well and let the chowder heat through.
Reduce the heat to low and blend in the nonfat Greek yogurt for creaminess. Stir gently, ensuring the chowder remains smooth.
Fold in the clams and heat gently for another 2 minutes, being careful not to overcook the clams.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed before serving the chowder hot.
