At first glance, you may ponder the flavor combination of seafood and coconut milk, as it may sound strange to your unaccustomed ears, but trust in kitchen-tested Paleo chowder recipes - your tongue will instantly recognize what tastes exceptionally great.
What's more surprising here is the absence of potatoes or sweet potatoes - the carbs which usually replace the gluten flour in a "real" chowder. But what we are making here really is real, and perhaps it is even the true one; we'll let you decide for yourself.
What low-carb vegetable can you add to your soup so that it feels like you are ladling the real thing into your chowder bowl?
A daikon radish. Quick side note: this radish can also be chopped up and baked into fabulously crispy low-carb fries.
Here, it goes in the chowder, chopped into bite-size pieces - it is the perfect potato substitute! It has loads of potassium, phosphorus, and vitamin C, plus it improves digestion, reduces inflammation, and strengthens your immune system; what's not to love about it?
If you are familiar with Asian cuisine, then it is likely you've tried a daikon radish before (maybe you didn't even know it); if not, here is a great place to start.
It is also good to know that daikons can be eaten raw, so if you would like to serve a small salad before the soup, slice it up thin and add the extra to a radish and cucumber salad. Dig in and get healthy!
