How to Make Amaranth Quinoa And Corn Chowder
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic; sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in 1 cup quinoa, 1/2 cup amaranth, and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Add 6 cups vegetable broth and 2 cups corn kernels (fresh or frozen). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, or until quinoa and amaranth are tender.
- Stir in 2 cups skim milk (or whole milk for a richer flavor), 1/4 cup heavy cream, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Heat through, but do not boil.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more milk if the chowder is too thick. Garnish with fresh herbs (such as chives or parsley) and a dollop of extra cream or a sprinkle of amaranth before serving.
- Enjoy immediately or refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
