CHUNKY CORN CHOWDER (VEGAN)



Chunky Corn Chowder (Vegan) image

A comforting and satisfying chowder with chunky veggies - perfect for a cold winter's day or any time you crave comfort soup! My son has severe food allergies and cannot have any dairy or egg - so I created this to satisfy his craving for soup! I make it a point to create recipes for him that the rest of the family is also thrilled to eat and this definitely meets that criteria. It tastes a little more broth-like than traditional chowders, but was very comforting nonetheless.

CHUNKY VEGETABLE CLAM CHOWDER



Chunky Vegetable Clam Chowder image

My first bowl of Clam Chowder in a quaint little restaurant in San Francisco had me knowing I loved this wonderful chowder. While we have enjoyed a good many recipes since, this one has become not only our favorite but a given for our evening meal on Christmas Eve 'our family tradition in the making' We often add an extra can of clams. The original recipe calls for an optional 1/2 teaspoon Curry Powder which we have yet to give a try. Serving size - a guesstimate!

Provided by Gerry

Categories     Chowders

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 slices bacon (may add an extra slice or two)
2 cups cubed potatoes (I often add more)
1 cup coarsely chopped carrot (I use a very coarse grate)
1/2 cup chopped onion (I like to use leeks)
1/2 cup chopped celery, I add the celery (optional)
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can condensed chicken broth (I use chicken stock)
1 (6 1/2 ounce) can minced clams (drained and liquid reserved)
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk (I use half and half or cream)
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons freshly chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons shortening (I use Crisco)
2 tablespoons flour

Steps:

  • In a large pot add bacon (I cut into bite size pieces) saute lightly.
  • Add in onions (and the celery which is optional) and saute briefly.
  • Add Chicken broth (I often use two cans of both the broth and the clams) potatoes, carrots, reserved clam juice, salt, pepper and simmer until vegetables are done.
  • Add in the milk, clams and chopped parsley stirring frequently until heated through.
  • You may wish to serve at this point but we make a roux melting shortening in a heavy pan, adding the flour browning to golden brown and whisking into chowder.
  • This can be prepared a day ahead, cool, cover and refrigerate bringing to a simmer (carefully stirring to prevent burning) before serving.
