#248 The Case of Corn Chowder

So naturally sweet!

2 onions, chopped
1-1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
4 tablespoons vegan butter
8 ears corn, in kernels
5 cups water
1/2 cup cashew milk
fresh thyme

Sauté the onions with the salt and pepper in the vegan butter until the onions are translucent.

Stir in the corn and water. Simmer, covered, for 5 min.

Purée 4 cups and return to the pot.

Stir a little soup into the cashew milk then incorporate back into the soup.

Add more salt to taste.

Garnish with fresh thyme leaves.

Serves 4.

PS Rather than a chef’s knife, my bread knife cuts corn off the cob with less scattering plus, to further enclose the splatter, I cut the corn in a giant bowl with sides sloped enough that I can work.

Welcome Foodies!

Wonderful to meet YOU ! At Vegetarian Detective, I share with you some of my favourite veggie, vegan and raw recipes. I know you’ve noticed that eating meat-free is a popular trend everywhere. Even going veggie just once a week. There are many reasons why. This is how. You're also invited to get to know me (Cynthia's favourite character) better by reading the mystery novels I'm in: A Purse to Die For and A Killer Necklace .

#110 The Case of Poutine

"Poutine is a typical Canadian dish (originally from Quebec ), made with French fries , topped with brown gravy and curd cheese ."—Wikipedia N utritionists worldwide may be screaming in horror that poutine has captured the world by storm but, proud Canadian that I am, I'm shouting, "Yippee!" To be sure, vegetarians are reputed to eat more along the lines of tofu, broccoli and brown rice but an occasional poutine won't kill us. In fact, fast-food poutine makes quite a comforting indulgence! Did you know that poutine gravy, which is generally made from a mix, is vegetarian? Valerie of McCormick Canada Inc. confirmed to me by phone that Club House Brown Gravy Mix contains no meat products. Silly to write out a recipe. All you do is sprinkle French fries with cheese curds then pour brown gravy over top. Seriously...yum! ♥ Becki PS To leave me (and Cynthia) a message, click on the comment button below.
