Lightened Creamy Clam Chowder
Enjoy a bright twist on a classic chowder with tender clams, silky low‐fat milk, and fresh vegetables. This lightened version balances creaminess and flavor with a refreshing broth and delicate herbs, making it perfect for any time of the day.
INGREDIENTS
8 oz chopped clams (drained)
1/2 cup low-fat milk
1/2 medium yellow potato, cubed
1/2 cup diced celery
1/4 cup diced yellow onion
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp olive oil
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 tbsp whole wheat flour
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
PREPARATION
In a medium pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, celery, and minced garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Sprinkle in the whole wheat flour and stir continuously for about 1 minute to form a light roux.
Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and add the cubed potato. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook until the potato begins to soften, approximately 8-10 minutes.
Stir in the chopped clams and low-fat milk. Allow the chowder to heat through for another 3-4 minutes. Do not let it boil vigorously to maintain the creaminess of the milk.
Season with a pinch of salt and pepper if needed. Remove the chowder from heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
Ladle into bowls and serve warm. Enjoy your lightened creamy clam chowder!
