CLAM CHOWDER, MANHATTAN 2

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients: 
• Two 6.5-ounce cans of minced clams
• Lowfat cooking spray
• 2 medium stalks celery, chopped
• 1 medium carrot, peeled and chopped
• 1 small onion, chopped
• One 8-ounce can of clamato juice (combination of clam and tomato juice)
• 2 cups of red potatoes, chopped
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• Fresh ground pepper, to taste
• One 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes, undrained


Directions:
1. Drain the clams but reserve the juice from the cans into a measuring cup and if necessary, add water until you have 1-1/2 cups of liquid, then set aside.

2. Spray a large saucepan with lowfat cooking spray. Raise heat to medium-high heat then sauté celery, carrot, and onion until crisp-tender (about 3-4 minutes.)
 
3. Stir in reserved clam juice, canned clamato juice, potatoes, thyme, cayenne and black pepper. Raise heat to bring to boiling then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
 
4. Add the tomatoes and minced clams, raise heat again to bring to boiling then reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes before serving.
