Mmmmmmmm choooooowdah! Who doesn’t love a big steamy bowl of creamy, salty, sweet, chunky, cozy corn chowder?
Up until recently, me of all people!
Confession: I used to be the biggest of chowder naysayers that ever did live. When I was little, my siblings would go wild over the clam-chowder-in-a-bread-bowl situation, especially when we visited San Francisco. I couldn’t for the life of me figure out why the stuff turned my stomach in knots…until…
Flash forward a couple decades, and come to find out it was because the cream and gluten content of the soup made me feel like Punnany McGeester. Too much cream and gluten for this girl = bellyache = bad mood juju. Even the slightest whisper of the word, “choooowdaaaaah” wrecked havoc on my digestive tract.
A few years ago, one of my brothers started making his own clam chowder, complete with bacon and potatoes for hearty splendor, but with a thinner (not roux-based) consistency and less cream. Not only could I enjoy his homemade clam chowder without feeling sick, but it inspired me to work my own magic in the substitutions department. Nothing like a big brother to draw you a map to the Eightfold Path of Chowder Enlightenment.
As it turns out, you don’t need cream, butter, and flour in order to make chowder. You can replace regular flour with a gluten-free all-purpose blend, use a vegan butter replacement, and/or substitute coconut milk for the cream.
As strange as it may seem in its cream-less, chicken-less, bacon-less glory, this veggie-packed dairy-free, gluten-free version of corn chowder is hands down the best batch corn chowder I’ve ever made. I know, I know…it’s hard to believe something so seemingly fun-less could be so good, but you guys, it truly is. Plus, it won’t make you curl up in a food coma and beg the chowder higher-ups for forgiveness.
