Quinoa Corn Chowder

Ali Segersten (author)
Dairy-Free Quinoa Corn Chowder

We like to make this hearty chowder in late summer when the sweet corn and peppers are in abundance, plus it's a great way to use up leftover roasted chicken and cooked quinoa! Use Homemade Chicken Stock or Homemade Vegetable Stock for best results. The raw cashew butter gives the chowder a creaminess without dairy. Replace the cooked quinoa with cooked wild rice if you don't like quinoa.  

Ingredients
1 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (or coconut oil)
1 large onions chopped
1 leeks chopped
3 cloves garlic crushed
3 celery stalks chopped
4 carrots diced
1 large poblano peppers diced
5 sweet corn cut from the cob
8 cups chicken bone broth (or vegetable broth)
3 tablespoons raw cashew butter
2 cups cooked quinoa
3 cups chopped cooked chicken (optional)
3 cups chopped kale
2 teaspoons Herbamare (or sea salt)
freshly ground black pepper

Garnish

chopped cilantro (or parsley)
chopped serrano chili peppers
