Cashew Corn Chowder is a delightful, creamy, and rich soup that combines the sweetness of fresh corn with the subtle nuttiness of cashews. This vegan-friendly dish is flavored with aromatic spices like turmeric and cumin, making it a warming and satisfying meal perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients:

1 tbsp coconut oil
14g
2 onions
220g
6 garlic cloves
18g
2 tsp salt
12g
2 tsp turmeric powder
4.40g
1 tsp ground cumin
3g
1/4 tsp red pepper (spice)
0.45g
3 cobs sweet corn
430g
4 cups vegetable broth
960g
1 tbsp lime juice
16g
1/2 cup cashew
70g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Start by chopping the onions and mincing the garlic cloves.
- Remove the kernels from the cobs of sweet corn. Set aside.
2. Sauté the Aromatics:
- In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onions to the pot and sauté until they become translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic, 2 teaspoons of salt, 2 teaspoons of turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper. Stir well and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Combine Main Ingredients:
- Add the corn kernels to the pot and mix everything together.
- Pour in 4 cups of vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
4. Simmer:
- Reduce the heat to a simmer and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the corn is tender.
5. Blend Cashews:
- While the soup is simmering, blend 1/2 cup of cashews with the lime juice and a small amount of the soup’s hot broth until smooth and creamy. This process creates a cashew cream to enhance the texture of your chowder.
- If you don't have a high-speed blender, you can soak the cashews in hot water for 15-20 minutes before blending to soften them.
6. Finish the Soup:
- Once the corn is tender, add the cashew cream to the pot.
- Use an immersion blender to blend the soup to your desired consistency. You can blend it completely for a creamy texture or leave some chunks for a heartier chowder.
- Alternatively, you can transfer half of the soup to a blender, blend until smooth, and then return it to the pot.
7. Adjust Seasonings:
- Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as needed. You can add more salt, lime juice, or spices to suit your preference.
8. Serve:
- Ladle the cashew corn chowder into bowls and garnish if desired. Fresh herbs like cilantro or green onions make great toppings.
9. Enjoy:
- Serve this delicious chowder warm, paired with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.

Tips:

- For best results, use fresh sweet corn for a more vibrant flavor.

- Soaking the cashews in water for a few hours before blending can yield a smoother texture.

- If you prefer a thicker soup, simmer it a bit longer to allow more liquid to evaporate.

- Add a pinch of smoked paprika for a subtle smoky flavor.

- Garnish with fresh cilantro or a dash of lime zest to enhance the freshness.
