Fabulous Chowder

 

I have never made chowder. My soups are always tomato based like minestrone or vegetable but having a child with a severe fructose allergy rules out cooking with tomatoes. I still grow them and use them when cooking for others but I have had to re think a lot of my menus and alter a lot of my standby recipes . So I was delighted to try out something new, Southwestern Quinoa Chowder . It includes corn, diced potato and green pepper with cooked quinoa thickening it up. Risoni type pasta or rice could easily be substituted here.  The colour is a little bland but it can be topped with the condiments of your choice. I added Mexican blend cheese, a dollop of plain yoghurt, sliced avocado and optional diced tomato .
