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.

I love corn in every form! This soup looks really yummy. I have some frozen corn so I'll give it a try.
Do you think psyllum is crucial to make this recipe? That's the only thing missing from my pantry...

nah, not necessary...
it just makes it a little thicker & more filling.
still will be good!

Mmmmmmmm... Looks awesome.

We can't find corn here at this time of year so I'll have to wait til next summer to try it. *sigh*

I just made this and it is fantastical!!

I will be taking some to school with me for lunch tomorrow. (I warm my soup in the dehydrator and then pour it into a thermos that I rinsed with very warm water.) I can't wait to have it again!

THANKS!

nini!
i am so glad it worked out for you

i am catering for a raw person the last 2 weeks
and she is all 'oh it's too spicy for me'
and my dh (god i love him) said she could use a little spice
he noticed she has dead eyes.
so i guess you just can't please everyone-
that makes your expression all the dearer to me today
thanks

We made this yesterday and it was absolutely delish! I didn't change a single thing (except doubling the recipe!

) It was for 4 of us but could have easily served a 5th.

Thanks for sharing yet another rawkin' creation, Snow!

I had been seriously craving corn chowder and poof this was one of the highlighted posts. I ran to the store on the way home to get corn and made it within 10 minutes of being home. It was so good! It totally hit the spot! My husband is literally licking the bowl as I write this. Hehehe...I think he approves! EXCELLENT RECIPE!

I made this last night and my SAD husband liked it too. I have a question though. It was very watery except for a sort of scum( a good tasting one) on the top that was thicker. I wished the whole thing had been like the top 1/8". I used 1/2 tsp psyllium husk which I had never used before. Bought it just for this recipe. Do you think if I added more it would have made the whole thing thicker? Having not used it before I'm not sure if this is what made the top layer thicker. Thanks

yes, more psyllium and more corn would thicken this dish. if it sets a bit it's thicker, since it takes a little bit to come to full thik-ability.

thanks snowdrop! Will try again.

Carmella · #14 01-25-2009, 12:18 PM

Made this again for dinner yesterday. Man, this is a real winner!

Thanks Snow for yet another fab recipe! Muah muah

Made this soup again for supper, with a little -accidental- modification... Put curry powder instead of cumin, and when I realized, it was too late... Anyways, put the cumin too, and voila... Indian corn soup was just invented! It was so yummy and warming with the additional 1 tsp of curry powder, that I may stick with it for the winter...
