Add the onion, carrots, celery, and 1/4 cup broth to the stockpot. Simmer until onions are translucent.

In a separate pot, cook potatoes in the remaining broth until soft.

Add cooked potatoes with the broth to the veggie mixture.

Add undrained clams, salt, and pepper.

Blend the cottage cheese, milk/water, and oat flour together until smooth.

Add blended mixture slowly into the stockpot, stirring continually.

Simmer gently until slightly thickened.
