I did the crockpot version which is a dump recipe. Nothing on
the stove at all. It came out so good. Jay gave it a 10.
I'm going to add any tweaks in parenthesis. Other comments
of mine at the bottom. I highly recommend this recipe.
Clam Chowder Recipe
Cleo
Can be prepared in a crock-pot or on the stove.
Ingredients:
1 pint half-and-half
1 cup organic chicken broth
1-16 ounce bag of frozen cauliflower
1/4 cup chopped red onion (if using crock pot, you need not pre-cook onions to soften. On-stove cooks need to soften the onions on the stove by cooking in broth prior to adding other ingredients)
2 slices cooked bacon, broken into bits
1 tbsp Thick’nThin/not starch (Corn Starch for non Low Carbers)
1 tsp salt
2 tsp parsley
1/4 tsp thyme (was out so used poultry seasoning
1/8 tsp pepper
1 clove garlic
**1 can of clams/juice optional
Prepare cauliflower according to package instructions. Drain. Cube when possible, leaving smaller chunks, but chunks nonetheless.
For crock pot users: In a crock pot, add all ingredients. Cook in a 2 qt bowl on a medium setting for 2-4 hours, or until onion is softened.
For stove-top preparation: In a saucepan on medium heat, soften onion in chicken broth until transparent. Add thicknthin/not starch. Stir. Add half-and-half and spices. Stir until half-and-half comes to a near boil, stirring constantly. Add bacon and cauliflower, and stir, reducing the heat to low/simmer. Keep an eye on dairy in the pan, to keep scorch from occurring.
For both recipes, serve warm.
**If clams are added, add juice to the chicken broth, and add diced clams with the cauliflower.
Makes six, one-cup servings at 5.3 carbs per cup and 300 calories per serving.
carbs: 5.3 per cup serving
calories: 300
***I doubled the recipe and added some butter, and 1/2 c. heavy cream. Everything went into the crock pot, oh as I had fresh cauliflower on hand so I used it. Cut it up as though it
was potato chunks. If you don't want clams in this chowder
you can add anything you want even chicken breast chunks,
or other fish, ie., shrimp, crab etc. Barbo
