INGREDIENTS
5 oz canned clams (drained)
1 medium potato
1 stalk celery
1/4 medium onion
1 medium carrot
1/2 cup low-fat milk
1 tsp olive oil
Seasonings (thyme, salt, pepper)
PREPARATION
Drain the canned clams and set aside, reserving a little clam juice if available.
Peel and dice the medium potato into small cubes, and chop the celery, onion, and carrot into uniform pieces.
In a medium pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, celery, and carrot, and sauté until they become soft and fragrant, about 4-5 minutes.
Add the diced potato and continue to cook for another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in a small amount of reserved clam juice (or water, if needed) and the low-fat milk, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the clams and season the chowder with thyme, salt, and pepper. Allow it to simmer for 5-7 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the flavors meld.
Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed before serving.
