I am on induction and thinking of making some clam chowder, as all ingredients except potatoes are allowed (i will be leaving them out), but I usally use about a Tbsp of flour to thicken the chowder. Are there any 0 carb thickening agents that would work in the place of the flour??
Thanks
Also, was considering what if any veggies I could add in place of potatoes.......
A lot of people use califlower as a sub for potatoes. As for the thickening agent if you go to low car kitchen and scroll down there is a post by Shirlyl asking the same question. There were lots of great suggestions, I think protein powder was one. Check it out and good luck, let us know how it turns out I love clam chowder.
Thank you for that great bisque recipe, I already printed it!!
I do have a clam chowder recipe (Emerald's high fat yummy recipe, w/out the potatoes).
Cauliflower and Daikon's are both an option. I think this time I'll just split the chowder into two pots and have one with potatoes for the kids and hubby and leave my portion without.

1 tablespoon of plain powdered gelatin contains 0g of carb and flavorless so it won't compete with the reset of the ingredients in your recipe. You may have to play a little with its application (i.e., using more than a tablespoon, dissolve in a little water or chowder base first, refrigerating overnight and reheating, etc.)
