It’s also hearty and filling, packed with vegetables and protein from the clams.

The soup is easy to make and perfect for a quick and light lunch or dinner.

CONS

Since the soup is low in fat, it may lack some of the richness that traditional clam chowders have.
The skim milk could also curdle if heated too much or too quickly, so it’s important to heat the soup gently and not let it boil.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

This low calorie clam chowder is a healthy and delicious way to get your daily dose of veggies and protein. The clams are a great source of iron and vitamin B12, which are important for maintaining healthy blood and nerve cells.
Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, which is good for eye health, and onions are full of antioxidants that help to reduce inflammation and support heart health. Skim milk has less fat than whole milk, so it can be helpful for anyone looking to reduce their calorie or fat intake.
