Low Sodium Clam Chowder

Low Sodium Clam Chowder

Everyday

Low sodium clam chowder is a modified version of the classic New England soup designed to support heart-healthy diets. It retains the traditional base of tender clams, potatoes, and cream but reduces salt content by 30-50% through substitutions like potassium chloride or herb-based seasonings. While maintaining the soup’s signature creamy texture and briny sweetness, this adaptation prioritizes cardiovascular health without compromising its protein-rich shellfish core or satisfying comfort-food appeal.
