Free Recipe Sunday: Vegan Buffalo Chowder
This week I polled Facebook asking which recipe from the current meal plan everyone wanted me to share this week!
It was soooooooo close!
Curried Red Lentil Soup and Buffalo Chowder had the same number of votes, so I flipped a coin!
3rd place: "Steak" and "Cheese" Baked Potatoes
4th place also tied for Broccoli Wraps & Falafel Burgers
The winners only one by 7 votes! It was really a close race!
Thanks for participating!
Below is the Buffalo Chowder recipe!
Serves: 2
Total Time: 30 Active Time: 20
Ingredients Prep
1 small onion dice
3-4 cup vegetable broth
2-3 garlic cloves
1-2 carrots
1-3 celery stalks
1 potato (or 2 Yukon potatoes)
1 bag cauliflower florets (4 cups, 1 head)
1/2 cup light coconut milk
1/3 to 1/2 cup Frank's Hot Sauce
Directions
Line a large pot with ¼-cup broth.
Sauté onion and garlic until translucent.
Add 3-cups broth, cauliflower, carrots, celery, and potatoes. (If you are using a lot of vegetables you may need to add another 1-cup broth or water).
Cover and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are tender, 10-15 minutes.
Optional: Blend a portion of this soup in a blender (or use an immersion blender).
Stir in coconut milk and hot sauce.
Heat over low until thoroughly warm.
Add salt and pepper, if desired.
Serve immediately.
Garnish with cilantro, green onions, chives, vegan cheese, vegan sour cream, or a drizzle of extra hot sauce.
Notes: For smokiness, add 1/2 tsp smoked paprika. You could add 1 tbsp lemon at the end to finish.
Slimming: Use soy or oat milk. Add a can of white beans or chickpeas for a protein boost or swirl in hummus. Omit potatoes if you can.
Make Ahead: Yes.
