INGREDIENTS
6 oz Canned Clams, drained
1 medium Carrot
1 medium Parsnip
1 stalk Celery
1/2 medium Onion
2 cloves Garlic
1/3 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 cup Low Sodium Chicken Broth
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 Bay Leaf
2 sprigs Fresh Thyme
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
In a large pot, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, diced carrot, parsnip, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
Add the bay leaf and thyme sprigs to the pot, stirring in to release their flavors.
Pour in the low sodium chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow the vegetables to cook through for another 8-10 minutes.
Gently add the drained clams into the simmering broth. Heat through for 3-4 minutes, making sure not to overcook the clams to preserve their tender texture.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt to create a light, creamy base. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Remove the bay leaf and thyme sprigs before serving. Ladle the chowder into bowls and enjoy your hearty yet light meal.
