Seven soups every Saturday: vegetarian chowder recipes
Here in New England, we know chowder. We know that it has clams, or sometimes fish, and that it most definitely is not red. While the word chowder comes from the French chaudiere -- a heavy pot used to cook fish stew -- today's chowders can be any thick soup with chunks of ingredients; it's the thickness, often the result of a stock mixed with a roux, that distinguishes a chowder from a soup. Chowders cook quickly (no long simmering, assuming you've already made your soup stock). And, really, it's okay with this New Englander if you throw a few tomatoes in.
Seven vegetarian chowder recipes caught my eye this week:
Vegan Manhattan clam chowder, from Got No Milk
Green chile chowder, from Homesick Texan
Tomato corn chowder, from Lisa's Kitchen
Creamy broccoli chowder, from Tales from a Veggie Kitchen
Roasted vegetable chowder, from Gluten Free Goddess
Raw corn chowder, from A Veggie Venture
Vegan potato and vegetable chowder, from Veggie by Season

Oh, I've been wanting this list, and I should just go down the list one by one.
Lydia, thank you for posting some vegetarian recipes. Sometimes it's difficult to translate from non-veg to veg. Can't wait to try them, especially the Roasted vegetable chowder. I am a fool for roasted veggies, I think I roast almost every one that comes through my door!
Susan, me too!
Elaine, I do try to post vegetarian recipes or recipes that can be adapted fairly easily by substituting veggie or mushroom stock, or water, for chicken stock. I'll certainly try to post vegetarian soups more often.
