Yummy Clam Chowder for Food Intolerances

This is a clam chowder that I have created that helps me keep within my food intolerances but fulfill my need for yummy clam chowder. No soy, gluten, dairy, or yeast. A little thinner base than most chowders and the base is brown not white, but the recipe is yummy as all get out. Based on recipe 52272.
