Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 medium yellow onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, chopped fine
4 cups cauliflower florets
1 1/2 cups skim milk
Three 6.5-ounce cans chopped clams, with their liquid
2 tablespoons cornstarch
6 tablespoons real bacon bits, such as Hormel Real Bacon Bits
2/3 cup Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large Dutch oven, combine the onion, garlic, cauliflower, and milk. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 7 minutes.
  • Strain the clams, reserving the juice. In a medium bowl, whisk the clam juice into the cornstarch.
  • Raise the heat under the Dutch oven to medium, and whisk the cornstarch mixture into the soup. Bring the soup to a boil, whisking constantly. Then reduce the heat and simmer until the soup has thickened, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the clams and bacon to the soup, and remove from the heat. Whisk in the yogurt and chives. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste, and serve.
