Ingredients
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
2 slices turkey bacon, chopped
-
½ cup chopped onion
-
½ cup sliced celery
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
-
1 medium russet potato, peeled and chopped
-
4 cups coarsely chopped cauliflower florets
-
¾ teaspoon salt
-
1 cup low-fat milk
-
1 (10 ounce) can whole baby clams, drained
-
1 teaspoon lemon zest
-
ground black pepper to taste
-
2 tablespoons fresh celery leaves
Directions
-
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.
-
Add onion and celery to the saucepan; cook over medium heat until onion is translucent, about 4 minutes. Add garlic; cook, stirring, 30 seconds more. Add chicken broth and potato; bring to a boil.
-
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.
