Ingredients

¼ cup vegetable oil
1 small onion, diced
2 stalks celery, chopped

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.

NEW ENGLAND CLAM CHOWDER (DAIRY-FREE AND LOW-FAT)

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!

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, diced
2 large carrots, scraped and diced
1/2 cup flour
2 cups clam broth
3 cups plain soymilk or 3 cups rice milk
2 (6 1/2 ounce) cans chopped clams or 2 (6 1/2 ounce) cans minced clams
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1 tablespoon dried parsley
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon crushed thyme
1 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 cups baking potatoes, peeled and diced into 1 inch cubes
salt and pepper, for serving
fat-free saltine crackers, for serving

Steps:

In a large stockpot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions and carrots and saute until softened.
Gradually sift in the flour, stirring thoroughly and scraping bottom of pan.
Very gradually stir in the clam broth, scraping sides and bottom of pan to make sure flour is thoroughly incorporated without clumping.
Stir in rice milk until mixture is smooth.
Add the clams and spices, bring soup to a boil, then cover and reduce heat. Simmer for 30 minutes.
Add diced potatoes, cover and simmer for an additional 30 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Serve with crushed Saltines.

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.
