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!

This chowder is a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more salt and pepper next time.

I tried this recipe and it was a disaster! The chowder was too thick and the flavor was off. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This chowder was just okay. The broth was a bit bland and the clams were a bit tough. I think I'll stick to my usual clam chowder recipe.
