Veg chowder

Ingredients:

  • olive oil
  • 1 onion
  • 20g garlic (about 4 cloves)
  • 230g brussels sprouts
  • 400g can coconut cream
  • 6 teaspoons nutritional yeast flakes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 160g frozen corn
  • 400g potatoes
  • 400g cauliflower
  • 1 courgette
  • 2 red chillies
  • 1 lemon

Methods:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large heavy bottom pot. Finely chop an onion and garlic, and saute them.
  • Defrost the Brussels sprouts in the microwave, if frozen. Finely chop them and add them to the pot.
  • Once the sprouts turn vibrant green, add the coconut cream and about twice as much water. Add yeast flakes, salt and frozen corn.
  • Chop potatoes into bite size pieces and add them in.
  • After 5 minutes add the cauliflower and courgette.
  • Finely slice some red chillies and add them in.
  • Once potatoes are tender, spoon 25% of the soup into a bowl, seeking out potatoes and chillies, and avoiding courgettes.
  • Handblender the contents of the bowl and reunite it with the rest of the soup. Add 20g of lemon juice.
  • Taste and adjust salt, acidity (lemon juice) and spiciness (chilli powder).
  • Serve topped with black pepper.
