I haven't composed this in a formal way so apologies for the fuzzy
measures.

Clam Chowder:

Ingredients:
10 oz. canned baby clams plus liquid
Low carb unsweetened soy milk...(3/4 of quart, I'd say).
1 zucchini chopped
2 stalks celery chopped
sprig parsley
Pinch of thyme
5 spring onion, sliced
3 Tbsp. soy flour
Chicken or vegetable stock (dry mix, crystals, wet, whatever you prefer)
3 Tbsp. olive oil

Directions:

Lightly brown herbs, spices and vegetables in olive oil. Add a little water
and cover on low heat to soften vegetables for a few minutes. Then add clams
and soymilk and cook on low heat.

When nearly done, mix soy flour in a small bowl with a ladle or two of the
soymilk from the pot and mix. Then combine together and cook slowly until
soup thickens.


Note: I make a broccoli cheese soup that tastes great too.

My post meal numbers are always a nice surprise and very dependable.
