Gluten Free Dairy Free Free of MOST Allergen's and more ! Clam Chowder (New England) with a Vegan Version of Creamy Corn Veggie Chowder

Consuming this soup is like consuming heaven ...hahah its really really good and so comforting!!! Definitely  do not feel like Im missing out on a thing this is definitely  a family favorite! And its loaded with Clams!!!
Taste just like the REAL REAL DAIRY AND BUTTER LOADED Floured Clam chowder we all grew up with !! :D
****



Gluten Free, Dairy Free Allergen Free Clam Chowder (New England Style)
(this makes about 2 quarts)
1 Can of SeaWatch Brand Chopped Sea Clams ( I used there huge can from Costco, 51 oz.) (Reserve the Clam Juice!)
1 8oz. Bottle of Clam Juice I used (Snow's all natural)
6 Bacon Slices, minced
1 medium Onion
2 Stalks of Celery cut into uniformed pieces
3Tab of My gluten Free Fool Proof Mix (either one of mine will work)
2 Bay Leaves
1/2 tsp of Fresh Thyme Leaves
1 pound of potatoes, peeled and minced
2 Cups of Coconut Milk (Like Silk or So Delicious)
1 Can of Coconut Milk (I like to use this along with the milk from the carton for the thicker cream and more of a nuttier coconut taste )
( to Note if allergic to Coconut use your milk of choice it may need to be thickened up a wee bit more at the end  We Do not use Coconut Milk due to coconut allergies we use Organic Soy ).

6 tablespoons of Dry Sherry (or adjust to your taste, if you don't want to use alcohol leave it out)
Salt & Pepper to Taste
Franks Red Hot Sauce or Tabasco to Taste
Gluten Free Worcestershire Sauce ( I use wizards brand Organic GF/CF Vegan Worcestershire)
TO NOTE: I have found if you cook your bacon first then set it aside , then prepare the soup as below then add your cooked bacon when you add your MILK in :) To Prepare:
Drain the Clam Juice into a measuring cup or bowl and the bottle of Clam Juice It should equal out to 4 cups if i recall correctly lol ....

Cook the mixed Bacon in your soup pot, on medium heat until lightly crisped, about 8 min.
Add the Onion and Celery and cook stirring occasionally until the onions are translucent , about 5 to 7 min. Add the gluten free Flour Mix I to make your Roue and cook over low heat, stirring with a wooden soup for 3to4 min.

Whisk in the Clam Juice, bring to a simmer and cook for 5 min, dont forget to stir occasionally. The Liquid should start to thicken up , add the bay leaf and the fresh thyme.

Add the potatoes and simmer until tender around 15 min or so.

Meanwhile place the clams and the coconut milks, in a saucepan on low heat for about 5-8 min.

When the potatoes are tender add the clams and coconut mixture, simmer on med low or med for 1-2 min, DO NOT BOIL!
*If the Mixture is not think enough for you, then just add a Tab of  arrowroot with 5 tab of COLD water and stir into the chowder, should thicken up allot more for you! :D

Stir in the Sherry if using, Season to taste with salt and pepper, and if using Tabasco or franks red hot sauce and the Worcestershire Sauce . Serve and Enjoy.
*Another tip let your guests use the hot sauce and Worcestershire at the table so they can use what they like in the chowder!

LET'S TALK ABOUT DAIRY FREE & NUT FREE MILK OPTIONS : :)

For those like me who cannot have dairy or nuts its important to explore your diffrent dairy free and milk options you will be surprised to find what a fantastci selection!!  These are some brand's that I use!! :)


Golden Flax Seed Milk From Flax USA! This milk is great and taste delicious they have original 7mg sugar cane and vanilla 11mg sugar cane  the only draw back it does contain some evaporated cane sugar :( for those who cannot or like me who can only tolerate a very small amount of sugar this is something that I do not consume allot in my baking and cooking due to the sugar. but it is a good and healthy option~ check the website out it gives you all the nutritional facts ! :)

I love making my own Coconut Milk

http://www.flaxusa.com/products.php?page=flaxmilk

This one is my first and favorite that I use all the time and its sugar free as well!!! I love Turtle Mountains So Delicious Unsweetened Coconut Milk!!! Remember coconut is not a nut just saying :)  Its actually a tropical fruit :)
http://www.turtlemountain.com/products/product.php?p=so_delicious_beverage_hg_unsweetened


Okay so I use this on rare occasions when i cannot get my other stand-byes I do not use soy in abundance, but my body can tolerate it .  Silk Soy Milk I do not care that this brand states that it may contain traces of nuts in it so I am always Leary to use it :(
http://silksoymilk.com/products/silk-organic/unsweetened

This is a great favorite of mine HEMP MILK!!! Living Harvest is the Brand Hemp Milk ! and they make and unsweetened version as well!! thus sugar free yippee!
