Raw Chowder :: Generic Recipe

If you follow this recipe, you will be amazed at how many different soups you can create on your own.

Blend 1 cup of nuts (soaked overnight) with 2 cups of water. Add 1 cup cashews or walnuts and blend to a creamy consistency. Add the rest of the following and blend well:

1 cup water
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon honey (or agave)
1 cup chopped celery
Hot peppers to taste
2-5 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon salt

Now you have plain chowder. You pick the flavor:
For a clam chowder taste add: dulse flakes
For broccoli: chopped broccoli
For mushroom: you favorite mushrooms, dry or fresh
For tomato: chopped tomato
For carrot: grated carrots
For corn: Cut corn off the cob or use frozen corn
For pea: Fresh or frozen peas
Your own creation ....

Sprinkle with dry parsley flakes before serving.
Note: This soup will become warm because of much blending. It's still raw. (Just don't let it become hot!) Warm soup are comforting in the cold wintertime. Serves 5

This is the soup brought to the January 25th potluck in E-Town by Doris Yoder that was such a hit and is from the book Eating without Heating by Sergei & Valya Boutenko. Doris used walnuts, frozen peas, cauliflower which was processed to small pieces in a food processor and nutritional yeast. It was yummy!
