INGREDIENTS
8 oz Fresh Clams (approx. 227g)
1 medium Potato (approx. 150g)
1 stalk Celery (approx. 40g)
1/4 cup chopped Yellow Onion (approx. 40g)
1/4 cup Low-Fat Cream (approx. 60g)
1 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth (approx. 240g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (approx. 5g)
1/2 tsp Dried Thyme
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the clams thoroughly under cool water and set aside. If using hard-shell clams, steam them until they open, then remove the meat and reserve both the clams and any natural juices.
Peel and dice the potato into small cubes for quicker cooking.
Chop the celery and dice the yellow onion finely.
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onions and celery until they become soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the diced potato to the pot and stir for another 2 minutes.
Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 10-12 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
Reduce the heat and stir in the low-fat cream and dried thyme. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Gently fold in the clams (with the reserved juices if available) and warm through for an additional 2-3 minutes without boiling, to preserve the delicate flavor of the clams.
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed, then ladle the chowder into bowls and serve warm.
