Clam Chowder from Make it Paleo II

61DtGu5OT7L._SX258_BO1,204,203,200_This recipe is a MUST TRY. It’s better than any other clam chowder I’ve ever had, and I live in New England so that’s saying something. It’s ideal for a cold night or when you need a comforting lunch. My son devoured three bowls of it, and when this happens, I know a recipe is a keeper. This dish is from Make it Paleo 2, written by Hayley Mason and Bill Staley over at Primal Palate. The cookbook is full of more than 175 grain-free recipes and there are so many more that I’m dying to try.

I even made a video of myself making this soup:


Clam Chowder from Make it Paleo II
Author: 
Recipe type: Soup
Serves: 4
 
Ingredients
  • 3 Strips bacon, diced
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 3 stalks celery, diced
  • 1½ cups chicken stock
  • 1 cup bottled clam juice
  • 2 Tbsp tomato puree
  • 2 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • 14 grinds black pepper
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • 1 (10-oz) can boiled baby clams, drained
  • ½ cup grass-fed heavy cream or coconut cream
  • 1 sprig fresh thyme, for garnish
Instructions
  1. In a Dutch oven over low heat, cook the bacon until the fat renders and the bacon starts to crisp. Add the onion and celery and raise the heat to medium-low.
  2. Cook the celery and onion with the bacon for approximately 15 minutes, then add the garlic. Continue cooking and stirring periodically for another 5-10 minutes, unit the onion is translucent.
  3. Add the stock, clam juice, tomato puree, potatoes, salt, pepper, and paprika.
  4. Cover and cook until the potatoes are fully cooked and soft, about 25 minutes.
  5. Using an immersion blender, pulse the soup slightly to break up some of the solids and create a thicker soup.
  6. Add the clams and cream to the soup. Mix together and bring to a simmer. Garnish with a spring of fresh thyme and serve.
