INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Canned Clams (170g)
1/2 cup Potato, diced (78g)
1/4 cup Celery, chopped (40g)
1/4 cup Onion, chopped (40g)
1 Garlic clove, minced (3g)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil (5g)
1/2 cup Low-Fat Milk (120g)
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (61g)
1 teaspoon Fresh Thyme
1 Bay Leaf
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Drain the canned clams, reserving a few tablespoons of the clam juice to enhance the broth if desired.
In a medium pot, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion, celery, and minced garlic until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the diced potato to the pot along with the bay leaf and fresh thyme. Sauté for an additional 2 minutes.
Pour in the reserved clam juice along with low-fat milk, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow the potatoes to cook until tender, about 10 minutes.
Gently stir in the clams and nonfat Greek yogurt, ensuring the heat is kept low to avoid curdling the yogurt.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, and let the chowder heat through for another 2-3 minutes without boiling.
Remove the bay leaf and serve the chowder hot, enjoying the light yet creamy texture.
