A light yet satisfying twist on a classic clam chowder featuring tender clams, hearty potatoes, and a velvety low-fat milk base accented with aromatic herbs. This chowder is perfectly balanced to deliver a comforting meal that’s both nourishing and delicious, ideal for lunch or dinner.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup canned clams (drained, approx 160g)
1 cup low-fat milk (244g)
1 medium baked potato (150g)
1/2 medium onion, chopped (55g)
1 stalk celery, chopped (40g)
1 clove garlic, minced (3g)
1 teaspoon olive oil (5g)
1 tablespoon whole wheat flour (8g)
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
In a medium pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion, celery, and minced garlic. Sauté until softened and aromatic, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the whole wheat flour and cook for an additional minute to eliminate any raw flour taste.
Gradually whisk in the low-fat milk, stirring constantly to create a smooth base.
Add diced baked potato and bay leaf, allowing the mixture to simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
Stir in the canned clams along with their juices, and sprinkle fresh thyme. Bring the chowder to a gentle simmer for another 3-5 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, remove the bay leaf, and serve warm.
