Cauliflower Clam Chowder Recipes

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large pot. Add onion; cook and stir until browned, about 10 minutes. Add 1 cup water and carrots. Bring to a boil; cover and cook until carrots are soft, about 10 minutes.
• Combine remaining 4 cups water, cauliflower florets, chicken bouillon, and garlic in a blender; blend until smooth. Pour over the onion and carrots in the pot.
• Stir baby clams and mushrooms into the pot. Simmer until hot, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Melt margarine over medium heat in a Dutch oven. Add celery and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
• Pour vegetable broth and water into the Dutch oven and bring to a boil. Add cauliflower and potato; return to a boil. Reduce heat to low and let simmer until potato is tender, about 20 minutes.
• Stir red peppers and evaporated milk into the simmering mixture and heat for 2 minutes more. Pour soup carefully into an electric blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Return soup to the Dutch oven and bring to a slow boil, stirring constantly, until thoroughly heated, about 5 minutes more.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add turkey bacon and cook until crisp, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, reserving drippings in the saucepan.

• Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes. Add cauliflower and salt; simmer, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are just tender, about 5 minutes.
• Working in 2 batches, transfer cooked vegetable mixture to a blender. Add milk and blend until very smooth, about 2 minutes.
• Stir mixture back into the saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer to heat through, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in clams and lemon zest.
• Sprinkle servings with pepper, bacon, and celery leaves.
