INGREDIENTS
6 oz Canned Clams (drained)
1 Parsnip (approx. 100g)
1 Carrot (approx. 61g)
1 Celery stalk (approx. 40g)
1 small Yellow Onion (approx. 70g)
1 Garlic clove
1 tsp Olive Oil
1/2 cup Low-Fat Milk
1/2 cup Clam Juice
1 tbsp All-Purpose Flour
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (garnish)
PREPARATION
Drain the canned clams and set aside, reserving the clam juice if needed for extra flavor.
Finely dice the yellow onion and garlic. Peel and chop the parsnip and carrot into small, uniform pieces. Slice the celery.
Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the onion, garlic, parsnip, carrot, and celery until the vegetables soften and the onion becomes translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir for about 1 minute to lightly toast the flour, creating a roux.
Pour in the low-fat milk and clam juice, stirring continuously to incorporate the roux smoothly into the liquid.
Add the clams to the pot and lower the heat. Let the soup simmer for 5-7 minutes ensuring the flavors meld together.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as desired.
Serve warm, garnished with a dollop of nonfat Greek yogurt to add an extra creamy texture and tang.
