I made up this recipe when we were trying to eat more iron in our diets. I don't have any idea how much iron it actually contains, but it's a yummy clam chowder regardless!
Clam Chowder
32 oz box Trader Joe's Garden Veggie Patch Soup
1 can kidney beans
1 can chickpeas
3-4 potatoes, chopped
1 dozen large clams, deshelled
fresh thyme
bay leaf
Combine all ingredients except clams and simmer until potatoes are tender. Add clams and simmer another 10 minutes. Do not overcook!
