Hiya – love your site, wanted to contribute. As we head into summer and corn is like 10 ears for 2 bucks, this tasty, creamy raw corn chowder gets super cheap to make! And all it requires is 10 minutes and a blender.

Ingredients

• 6 ears corn, husked, cleaned and kernels cut off
• ½ c raw cashews, powdered (aka ground down in a blender or spice grinder)
• 2 c water
• 2 T olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic
• juice from 1 lime
• 1/4 t onion powder
• 1/8 t cayenne
• 1/2 t salt (or more to taste)
• fresh ground black pepper to taste

Method

Step 1

Mix powdered cashews and water in your blender until creamy, throw in everything else and process until desired consistency. I like to leave some of the corn kernels out and add them in for a little crispy texture in the finished product.
