Creamy Garlic and Chive White Bean Chowder with Leeks {Gluten-Free}

January 9, 2017 by Faith 7 Comments

This gluten-free Creamy Garlic and Chive White Bean Chowder with Leeks is rich and velvety and full of fiber and protein!

We all know sometimes less is more in life, and I think this can be particularly true when it comes to food. Think about a perfectly ripe summer tomato; the only thing it needs is maybe a sprinkle of salt to be mind-blowing. Or warm fresh baked bread, which can be improved by nothing except a smear of butter. Or creamy vanilla ice cream flecked with specks of vanilla beans and drizzled with hot fudge. So many times simple flavors win out.…

Buffalo Chicken Soup

September 14, 2012 by Faith 24 Comments

This chowder-like Buffalo Chicken Soup is thick and creamy with all the flavor of Buffalo chicken wings, but without the mess! Ahh, soup season. I’m in love, and not just because I love soup. I can barely control my feet as they do a little happy dance every time they snuggle into my wool socks....

White Bean Soup

This Italian-inspired creamy White Bean Soup recipe is a hearty and satisfying chowder with white beans and vegetables. It’s quick and easy enough to whip up on a weeknight! Is this it?, I asked, bewilderedly looking out the car window at what could have been any dive in any sketchy area of any town. With a nod, Mike assured me that this was in fact the place. ...

Cheesy Baked Cauliflower Chowder

March 13, 2011 by Faith 41 Comments

This recipe was born one day when I was craving both macaroni and cheese and chowder, and couldn’t decide which to make. While its flavor is reminiscent of the surreal epiphany that is found in a humble mac and cheese or simple chowder, it is ever-so-slightly more sophisticated with the addition of a rosemary/Panko topping. What I love most about this side dish is that it can be dressed up or down. Serve it with burgers and a green salad for a casual weeknight meal, or fancy it up with filet mignon and sautéed mushrooms…either way it will be love at first bite....

New England Style Fish Chowder

January 4, 2011 by Faith 52 Comments

I know of a few characteristics of traditional New England fish chowder: no tomatoes, no flour, and a light, delicately-flavored broth that’s thickened only by potatoes and cream (or in this case, milk…just be sure to use whole milk, as low-fat milk may curdle and won’t give it the thickness you’re looking for)....

Roasted Corn Chowder

May 16, 2010 by Faith 31 Comments

Like many other veggies, when corn is roasted, its naturally sweet, nutty flavor is brought out. The beauty of oven-roasting canned corn is that you don’t need to wait for outdoor grilling weather and corn to be in season to enjoy this delicious dish. This chowder was served as a first-course as part of my Mother’s Day Menu. The lovely flavor of roasted corn is highlighted in this easy dish that takes less than half an hour to make. I’m sending this recipe off to Chaya of Sweet and Savory for My Meatless Mondays. Be sure to check it out for some excellent vegetarian inspiration! Roasted Corn Chowder […]...
