SEAFOOD CAULI-CHOWDER

I just love creating soups in the fall and winter. I made this yesterday for lunch and we both gave it a definite thumbs up! Because this has clams in it, a serving provides MORE than your entire day’s requirements of Vitamin B12!


INGREDIENTS:

4 slices bacon, chopped
2 oz. onion, chopped (I used purple onion)
1 6 oz. can clams with juice
7 oz. fish filet, cut into 3/4″ pieces
7 oz. peeled, deveined shrimp (save shells)
10 oz. cauliflower, precooked, mashed
1 can (14 oz) chicken broth, low sodium
5 cups water (for boiling shrimp shells in)
1 c. heavy cream
¼ tsp. xanthan or guar gum for thickening
Pinch salt if needed (shrimp has a lot of sodium in it naturally)
¼ tsp. my Seafood Spice Blend: http://buttoni.wordpress.com/2009/0...od-spice-blend/
Pinch dried thyme

DIRECTIONS: Peel and devein shrimp and set aside. Boil shells in the 5 c. water for 5-10 minutes. Discard shells and set broth aside. In large soup pot, saute chopped bacon until fairly crisp, leaving all grease in the pot. Add chopped onion and saute until tender. Add seafood, spices and mashed, precooked cauliflower. Now pour in the chicken stock and the 5 c. shrimp shell broth and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer 30 minutes for flavors to blend. Add 1 c. heavy cream last. When ready to serve, lightly dust xanthan gum over surface several times, stir and allow to thicken between each addition. Repeat as needed for desired thickness.

NUTRITIONAL INFO: Makes 6 large servings (about 1¼ c.), each containing:

318 calories
22.3 g fat
6.78 g carbs
2.07 g fiber
4.71 g NET CARBS
22.8 g protein
435 mg sodium

This sounds great! I have been wondering how to substitute for my regular shrimp chowder and this will work I think!

Hey, a N.C. tarheel! I and my mother were born in Gosldsboro. My grandparents were tobacco farmers. Dad (and my husband) are the Texans in the family. Dad was USAF, so we moved away from N.C. while I was still in diapers. Lots of relatives around Smithfield and Mt. Olive still. My hubby's family are from Dallas.

I think you'll like this chowder.
