New England Clam Chowder (Dairy-Free and Low-Fat) image

I'm posting this for my mother. We recently returned from a trip to Cape Cod, where we were both very disappointed about not being able to eat the cream-filled clam chowder as a result of our IBS. This recipe is from my favorite cookbook, Eating for IBS by Heather van Vorous, and is completely dairy-free and delicious!

Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

¼ cup vegetable oil
1 small onion, diced
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 slices bacon, diced
2 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced, or more to taste
1 (8 ounce) bottle clam juice
2 ½ cups minced clams, drained
¼ cup vegetable oil
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups almond milk
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup oil, onion, celery, and bacon. Cook and stir until bacon fat renders and onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add potatoes and clam juice. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Cook until potatoes are fork-tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Add clams and cook for 10 minutes more.
Meanwhile, combine 1/4 cup oil and flour in a separate saucepan over medium heat. Stir until paste-like and light golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Gradually whisk in almond milk; cook and stir until mixture becomes a thick slurry, 6 to 7 minutes more.
Stir slurry into the chowder to thicken it. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot.

Tips:

Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or russet potatoes are best for chowder because they hold their shape and don't get mushy.
Don't overcook the vegetables: The vegetables should be tender but still have a little bit of crunch.
Use a good quality vegetable broth: The broth is the base of the chowder, so it's important to use a good quality one.
Add seasonings to taste: Season the chowder with salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, or dill, add a nice finishing touch to the chowder.
Serve with a side of crusty bread or crackers: Chowder is a hearty and filling soup, so it's perfect to serve with a side of crusty bread or crackers.

Conclusion:

Dairy-free chowder is a delicious and comforting soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious and satisfying chowder that everyone will enjoy.
