New England Clam Chowder
OK,
it's easy to make a delicious New England clam chowder using heavy
cream, because all that fat gives it great taste and texture. This
soup achieves all that with just a fraction of the saturated fat.
This is a healthy alternative to heavy cream-laden clam chowder.
Enjoy it -- guilt free!
