Ingredients

• Fresh clams - 200 grams
• Potato, diced - 100 grams
• Celery, finely chopped - 50 grams
• Onion, finely chopped - 50 grams
• Garlic, minced - 1 clove
• Butter - 15 grams
• Gluten-free chicken broth - 250 ml
• Heavy cream - 100 ml
• Thyme, fresh - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a medium pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and garlic, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the diced potato and gluten-free chicken broth to the pot. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
3. Meanwhile, rinse the clams under cold water. Add the clams to the pot, cover, and cook until the clams open, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Once the clams have opened, discard any that remain closed. Stir in the heavy cream, thyme, black pepper, and salt to taste. Let the chowder simmer for another 5 minutes.
5. Remove the pot from heat and ladle the chowder into shot glasses. Garnish with chopped chives and serve immediately.
