Instructions Checklist

Step 1

  • Bring to a simmer, and let it cook for about 15 minutes until the cauliflower is tender.

Step 5

  • Blend for Creaminess (Optional): For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to blend a portion of the soup.
  • Be sure to leave some chunks for a hearty chowder feel.

Step 6

  • Add the Clams: Stir in the drained clams, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  • Let the chowder simmer for another 5 minutes until the clams are heated through.
