Recipe Notes

• Bacon: Bacon lends it’s signature salt, smoky flavors to this recipe – don’t skip it! I like to make use of heart minimize bacon as a result of it’s a leaner minimize than conventional bacon. If you favor turkey bacon, that can be utilized as properly! You can both cook dinner your bacon within the soup pot after which wipe it out earlier than cooking the remainder of the soup, or you possibly can cook dinner it in a separate pan whereas the soup is cooking. Whatever appears simpler to you!
• Clams: Canned chopped clams work splendidly on this recipe and make a terrific chowder. Plus you get to make use of the juice from the can within the soup broth! If you might have recent clams and also you wish to use them as a substitute you possibly can, I’d simply advocate including a second bottle of clam juice to interchange the juice from the cans.
• Clam Juice: This is normally present in bottles close to the canned clams within the grocery retailer. It provides further taste to the soup, so I undoubtedly advocate utilizing it! However you probably have every thing else and wish to make the soup instantly, you possibly can add further broth as a substitute. The juice from the canned clams will nonetheless give taste to the soup broth.
• Fat Free Half and Half: I used this in most of my creamy soups as a result of it provides a wealthy, creamy texture and taste with out including fats to the recipe. If you’re unable to search out the fats free selection you should utilize common half and half or a mix of milk and heavy cream. If you make these substitutions it’s going to in fact change the WW factors and estimated diet data.
