You’d never guess that a rich and creamy clam chowder could be low-fat, but this one is! With lots of potatoes, turkey bacon and seasonings, this slimmed-down version, shared by Linda Tindel of Avondale, Arizona, is loaded with flavor.

Ingredients

2 turkey bacon strips, diced
1 cup chopped onion
2 cups cubed red potatoes
2 cans (6-1/2 ounces each) minced clams, undrained
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 cup chopped celery
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon reduced-sodium seafood seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt-free lemon-pepper seasoning
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1-1/2 cups fat-free half-and-half

Directions

In a large nonstick saucepan, cook bacon and onion over medium heat until onion is tender. Add the potatoes, clams, broth, celery and seasonings. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 12-15 minutes or until vegetables are tender.

In a small bowl, combine flour and half-and-half until smooth; stir into potato mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
