Clam & Shrimp Chowder

I always use Organic.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 purple onion
celery
garlic
yeast free vegetable bouillon
1 can clams
some shrimp
1 can coconut milk (unseparated use the thick part only)
1 tbsp arrowroot flour
bacon (cooked and crumbled)
2 cubed raw potatoes
fresh dill


You're making a soup and you're at the age where you should be able to know how much of each product to use, so I never have precise measurements but you're making a soup...

Chop half a purple onion and saute in oil with chopped celery, chopped garlic.  Saute for about 5 minutes and add bouillion (if using cubes, i pick them up at health food store, use 2 with 4 cups water)(gmo and yeast and gluten free).  Add clam juice from your can of clams and puree.  Put back into soup pot, add cooked bacon, cubed potatoes and simmer for 20 mins.  Add can of coconut milk and arrowroot flour, clams, shrimp, and fresh dill and simmer for another 20 mins.
