Nutrition Facts for Manhattan Clam Chowder (text version below directions)

Two 6.5-ounce cans of minced clams

Lowfat cooking spray

2 medium stalks celery, chopped

1 medium carrot, peeled and chopped

1 small onion, chopped

One 8-ounce can of clamato juice (combination of clam and tomato juice)

2 cups of red potatoes, chopped

1 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Fresh ground pepper, to taste

One 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes, undrained

Directions:

Drain the clams but reserve the juice from the cans into a measuring cup and if necessary, add water until you have 1-1/2 cups of liquid, then set aside.

Spray a large saucepan with lowfat cooking spray. Raise heat to medium-high heat then sauté celery, carrot, and onion until crisp-tender (about 3-4 minutes.)

Stir in reserved clam juice, canned clamato juice, potatoes, thyme, cayenne and black pepper. Raise heat to bring to boiling then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.

Add the tomatoes and minced clams, raise heat again to bring to boiling then reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes before serving.
