Creamy soups are my vice and I especially love to indulge in them when I want something comforting. Clam chowder was always one of my favorites growing up, but seeing as it is full of butter, cream, potatoes, and flour, I have missed it terribly over the past few years. If you’re in the same boat, get ready to be reunited with your favorite because this Dairy-Free Clam Chowder recipe will pass for the original.
I created this soup waaaayyy back in 2011 while I was working on recipes for my first book Against all Grain. It has remained a favorite, and I still make it the exact same way even after all these years. In place of the heavy cream, I use cashew cream to thicken this dairy-free clam chowder and give it a creamy taste. I also use celery root (or celeriac) in place of the standard white potatoes to keep this soup SCD and GAPS friendly. Feel free to sub in white potatoes or even white sweet potatoes if you'd like though!

This is very tasty. I used coconut milk instead of cashews and it turned out great. Next time I’ll use more vegetables or less clams.

Where can I find this celery root? Never heard of it. Thank you for this recipe! Its sounds like just the ticket for that craving of creamy but still keep it clean

Does anyone know if this chowder freezes well?
