This AIP Clam Chowder will warm you from the inside out – without gluten, dairy, or nightshades. Enjoy a steaming bowl of chowder once again!

It is c-c-c-old right now where I live. In the middle of winter, it is sometimes a good thing to fill your belly with a hearty clam chowder. Here is an AIP version, which uses white sweet potatoes in place of regular white potatoes (nightshades).
I know that clams are not to everyoneโs taste (my sister told me thereโs no way she would eat clam chowder!), but if you are a clam fan, this is a great way to get a little more seafood into your diet.

Choosing canned goods on the AIP
Any time you are using canned goods for cooking on the AIP, it is very important to read labels. For instance, check your labels on common ingredients like full fat coconut milk. Make sure you find a brand that has no gums of any kind, like the brand I’ve indicated here. (There are several out there. I just picked one.)
The same goes for canned clams. Choose a brand that has no citric acid in it, like this one.
Stay warm, my friends!
As always, I’m wishing you great love and deep healing.

Oh my goodness, I made this with Kohlrabi (not even peeled, and to make it low carb) instead of the sweet potatoes and in my instant pot and it was amazing!! Thank you!
Ooooo, kohlrabi! I never thought of that. Iโll have to try it! Thank you for writing! ๐
I loved it!! I only had one can of clams but went for it anyway! Delicious!
EXCELLENT! So glad you liked it! And Iโm glad to know it can work with one can of clams. Thank you for taking the time to write! ๐
Just made this with fresh sea clams, ground up into paste in the Vitamix so they didnโt turn into rubber bands. It was delicious! My husband (very fussy about his โchowdaโ -we are from New England, after all), said it was really really really(!) good! ๐ I was leery about the coconut milk but it was yummy!
Hi, Beth! WOW! That is some high praise, coming from a couple of New Englanders! Thank you. I know what you mean about coconut milk. I try to cover up the taste in my recipes with other things so that it doesn’t taste so coconutty. So glad you liked it! ๐
Wow! So good. Not sure why this surprises me, since I enjoy so many of your recipes. I used leeks instead of onion, since I needed to use some up.
Ooooo, I like the idea of leeks! Kinda zhoozhes it up. Great idea! And thank you for writing! ๐
Ohhhhhj, thank you! What an amazingly great recipe. Even “non’AIP” hubby liked it. Sooooo darn good! Thank you. Now, your next task…..an AIP Cioppino…. pretty please…. haha
Haha! Yeah, I can do lots of things, butโฆ ๐ Thank you for writing! Tell your non-AIP hubby we WILL win him over. Heh, heh, heh. ๐
Delicious!! I used rutabaga instead of the sweet potatoes and enjoyed it too! ๐
Oh awesome, Danielle! I never thought of rutabaga with this. Yum! ๐
