Gluten Free Clam Chowder is a delicious and creamy soup made with succulent clams, flavorful broth, tender potatoes, and aromatic herbs. It's a comforting and flavorful dish that is loved by seafood enthusiasts and soup lovers alike.
In a Dutch oven or large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the onion and garlic and sauté until softened and the onions are translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir frequently.
Add in the broth and potatoes and mix thoroughly. Turn up the heat to medium high, then bring to a boil. Put the lid on and turn the heat back down to medium, letting it boil and simmer for about 8 minutes, or until the potatoes are softened.
Remove the lid and add in the clams with their juice, salt, thyme, bay leaves, and parsley. Let it simmer for about 2 more minutes to fully incorporate the flavors.
In a small separate dish, mix together the heavy cream and gluten free all purpose flour, stirring rapidly with a fork.
Slowly pour the heavy cream and flour mixture into the soup, stirring as you pour. Scrape the sides off to get all pf the mixture into the soup.
Add the chopped bacon and mix, then let the soup simmer for an additional 2 minutes to thicken. Serve and enjoy!
