cheezy corn chowder

cheezy corn chowder

1 c corn kernels
1 clove garlic
1 T onion
1/4 c cashews
2 T nutritional yeast
4 baby carrots (or 1 regular one)
1/4" ring of red pepper
2 T olive oil
1/2 - 1 t psyllium (depending how thick you wish chowder to get)
1 t cumin
1/8 t nutmeg
1 T parsley
1/2 t salt
grind pepper to taste
2 c water

blend in hi speed blender till very creamy
add :
1/4 c more corn kernels
1 T parsley

and warm up on stove till warm enough to eat.

bowl up and garnish with additional minced parsley & fresh ground pepper
enjoy!

you can use fresh or frozen corn - i used frozen today because it is winter
and there is no fresh corn available. i didn't use miso, but a light miso
would easily replace the salt & add a deeper dimension of flavor.

You've done it again!:p

[snowdrop]

thanks!

:wiping mouth:
and i have finished the entire pot of soup for lunch today!!!
(it's supposed to feed 2-3) :o

i liked it, it was real close to the cooked version i used to make.
:)

[GlimR]

Yum..supper tonight....looks fantastic!!!!:)

[Reeseyd]

Just a question, I would like try this, I have everything but the psyllium. If that is for thickness, can i use ground flax seed? would it do the same thing and how much should i use.
thankx

[GlimR]

I am making this today...didn't get a chance yet....is it really 1/2 to 1 tsp psyllium??

[iluvcacao]

This was SOOOO good! I subbed 1/2 an avo for the nuts and it turned out great that way too. :D

[snowdrop]

yes only 1/2 - 1 tsp
if you don't mind a thin soup leave it out
flax seed doesn't 'disappear' like psyllium,
so i wouldn't sub it.

Can't wait until Corn is in Season......I can live on this ALL Summer..Thanks for Sharing, as EPP said " You've done it again"

[DharmaGirl]

Doesn't the psyllium cause bloating???? I would think it would :confused:

Hi snowdrop. Your soup has crackers on the saucer beside it. Would you please tell me which recipe you use to make them? I have made Alissa's plain flax crackers and prefer to try another recipe next time.

[Zaphirah]

Am I correct in assuming the measurement of parsley is for FRESH, not dried? :confused: I'm SO having this for supper!:cool:

[snowdrop]

ok, the parsley is fresh, soo much yummier than dry.

and the crackers... sorry to say i no longer have that recipe.
they were pizza flax crackers and i thought after i created
the recipe i had entered it into the computer... so i burnt the
paper that the recipe was written on while starting the
woodstove up the other morning.
oh well, back to the drawing board!
:rolleyes:

[islesgirl]

Oh well, thanks for responding anyway.

[rawbutterfly]

I know this is an old post, but I finally got around to trying this recipe and OMG! I wish I had tried it sooner. It was so good, I ended up having to quadruple the recipe bc/ the kids kept asking for more! I used organic frozen corn instead of fresh though and dried parsley instead of fresh bc/ that is what I had on hand, but can't wait to try it with the fresh stuff... Snowdrop, you're awesome! Thanks!

[Aleesha Sattva]

thanks for bumping this up. i wanted to make some corn chowder for dinner tonight but didn't have a recipe. guess what i'm having for dinner tomorrow night!!!!!!!!!!!

[Eilene]

I made this a few weeks ago and it is awesome!!! Very yummy!
Thanks Snowdrop :-)

[contessa20]

Just wanted to bump this up and say, if you haven't tried this yet you need to RIGHT NOW!!! :D Holy cow, this stuff is amazing. My carnivorous DH crinkled up his nose when I asked him to try a bite but as soon as it was in his mouth his eyes lit up and he started saying how much he loved it. He wants me to try making it thicker (less water & more psyllium) to eat as a dip too.

This is going into my vault of favorites for sure!!!!!

It's only 0900hrs and I've not even had breakfast yet I'm drooling for this. Must try it one of these days when I get some corn...

Just to clarify... do I blend everything till creamy except the 1/4 cup of corn and the parsley which I add at the end for texture? Boy, I'll be on the look out for frozen corn now...... Off to google nutritional yeast...

Yes, that's how you do it.

[Rawjac]

thanks contessa!

[eating2live]

Made this for dinner...delicious!

[Thick]

This soup is so filling and fantastic! Thank you Snowdrop, so much=)

[Thick]

You will love this soup!=)

[streetsurfer]

What do you all think I could exchange for the yeast and still have this come out as good as it sounds? A gum, a flour, ground sprouts, fermented food like kraut? I take it I would be looking to replace the cheezy/creamy texture and taste? Due to food sensitivities (long list including cheeze, dairy, yeast, tomatoes, celery....), I will need to swap out something in place of yeast. Also, for the red pepper-maybe sweet potato or beet? Thanks for your help, and thanks too for recycling this thread, yet again.

It's good without the nutritional yeast, too. And the red pepper is mostly for color--carrots would work, too. You can vary the taste by adding different vegetables or spices--but snowdrop's is really good=)

The biggest thing about this soup is the amount of psyllium you put in it--too much, while very filling--makes it a strange unappetizing texture (to me) Silly me, I've never actually put the amount Snowdrop suggests(intentionally), maybe Ill try that next time=)

[streetsurfer]

Thanks Thick. I am looking forward to making this soup and maybe some flax crisps this week.

[Mary Kay]

Sorry to be a bummer to all of you, but all commercial frozen corn has been par-boiled. If it means anything to you that it's not all raw, anyway.

Thanks for sharing. Corn is in season here now in Ohio, where I live.

Mary Kay

[streetsurfer]

Thank you Mary Kay. I figured that was the case. I will use raw when I can.

[Thick]

best soup ever! I am so thankful for your palate and creativity, snowdrop!

[margoss]

maybe use soak chia seeds for thickener? I'm going to try that.

[MrsJohnnyG]

Oh man, I sooo wish I'd seen this post when corn was in season here!!! YUM, I am salivating now......

[Mary Kay]

Since corn's in season, I thought I'd bump up this thread!
