Prep time: 15 min

Total time: 5 h 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 4 strips of bacon, diced; 1 small onion, diced; 2 celery stalks, chopped; 2 cloves of garlic, minced; 1 teaspoon dried thyme; 1 teaspoon dried parsley; 1/2 teaspoon paprika; 1/4 teaspoon black pepper; 1 cup chicken broth; 2 cups cauliflower florets; 2 cups chopped clams, with juice; 1 cup heavy cream; Salt to taste; Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the diced bacon until crispy. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the pan.
Add diced onion and celery to the skillet with the bacon grease. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic, dried thyme, dried parsley, paprika, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Transfer the cooked vegetable mixture to a slow cooker. Pour in the chicken broth and add cauliflower florets and chopped clams with their juice. Stir to combine.
Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Once the cooking time is almost complete, stir in the heavy cream and continue to cook for an additional 30 minutes to allow the chowder to thicken slightly.
Season with salt to taste. Remember that the bacon and clams may already add some saltiness, so adjust accordingly.
Ladle the Keto Clam Chowder into bowls, topping each with the crispy bacon pieces and chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
Serve hot and enjoy the rich flavors of this delightful slow-cooked chowder.
