-I prefer
LifeSource brand oat fiber from Netrition.com. Trim Healthy Mama carries a
gluten-free version. Use an oat fiber that is light in color and taste; they’re not all created equally! Oat fiber is a really fine, dry flour with no net carbs or fats, and I don’t know of a good substitute for it that would have the same flour-like effect in this recipe.
-I use Better than Bouillon chicken base from Walmart. It’s high quality and has a great flavor.
-I used Chicken of the Sea whole baby clams from Walmart in this recipe and was impressed with the quality over some canned clams I’ve used in the past.
