I needed a #lowfat #oilfree version so I made this. It’s been so long since I ate regular clam chowder that I have no idea if it tastes like the real thing, but I enjoyed it.

You could make some Turkey bacon or tempeh “Facon” (find recipe here on CookPad) to add as a garnish, but I didn’t this time.
