Low Carb Clam Chowder
Ingredients
- 19.5 ounces canned clams
- 4 slices bacon chopped
- 1/2 cup onion minced
- 1 cup celery diced
- 2 cups daikon cubed
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon fish sauce OPTIONAL-for "umami" flavor
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened (or Kite Hill cream cheese for dairy free)
- 2 tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Redmond Real salt
- fresh ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large skillet, fry the bacon, onion, celery, and Daikon pieces in a pan until bacon is crisp. Drain juice from clams over the onions, celery, and Daikon. Add chicken broth to cover, and cook over medium heat until veggies are tender.
- Meanwhile, in a large, heavy saucepan, add in the cream cheese, stir constantly until thick and smooth. Stir in vegetables and clam juice. Heat through, but do not boil. Stir in clams just before serving. If they cook too much they get tough. When clams are heated through, stir in vinegar, and season with salt and pepper.

Testimony of the Day
“A year ago I met Maria Emmerich for a health assessment and consultation. My main goal was to lose a few pounds. However, I had also been suffering from IBS, allergies, and many sinus infections over the past several years. Maria helped me change my diet and my life. She has a wealth of knowledge on how vitamins, chemicals, and different foods can affect our metabolism, moods and energy levels. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to make a lifestyle change, lose weight and get healthier for good, not just temporarily on the latest fad diet. She has a wealth of information on her blog, mariamindbodyhealth.com
The results will amaze you!
I have not had a sinus infection in 12 months and my IBS problems disappeared. No more allergy-related eczema. And I lost weight (of course now gained being pregnant, but I’m smaller than I was with either of my previous pregnancies!). Feel free to ask me any questions. I highly encourage all of my friends to check out Maria’s books and websites if you are serious about getting healthy!”
