Quinoa Corn Chowder Recipe

Print This Post Print This Post

Quinoa tastes great in soups and this simple corn chowder recipe is one of our favorites. The quinoa makes it a more filling and satisfying meal. Plus the nutty flavor of this grain nicely balances the sweetness of the corn. I make it with frozen corn, but you could also use fresh or even canned corn. If you use canned corn, be sure to rinse it well since most canned vegetables have a lot of extra salt in them. Since the canned corn is also fully cooked, you need to add it to the soup a little late.

Here’s the recipe:

Quinoa Corn Chowder

  • 1 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup onion, diced
  • 1 large potato, diced
  • 2 cups corn (fresh or frozen)
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 cups plain soymilk
  • 3/4 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 3 tablespoons cilantro, torn into small pieces
  • salt and pepper

Get out a medium sized pot and cook the onion in the oil until it is translucent. Add the corn and diced potato and saute everything for a minute or two. Add the vegetable broth and soy milk and bring everything to a boil. Add the quinoa and cumin. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer to soup for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa and potatoes are tender.

Add the cillantro, salt and pepper to taste and serve hot.
