Low Carb Clam Chowder

Today I made a quick low carb and Keto New England Clam Chowder with 3g net carbs per serving.

In this low-carb version, I used coconut milk instead of regular milk and daikon radish in place of the potatoes.

The secret to this low-carb clam chowder is making one of my favorite healthy, low-carb swaps – substituting daikon radish for white potatoes!

Overall, I was delighted with how this New England clam chowder made with coconut milk came out. I used small whole baby clams, but chopped clams could also be used.
