You might call this a “corny” chowder instead, because when I tell my two-year-old that I am making my Heavenly and Heavily Herbaceous Cauliflower Crowded Chowder,” she cracks up. We always have a large quantity of broccoli and cauliflower stalks hanging around from other recipes. I slice off the outer fibrous side of the stems (all the green part for the broccoli) and chop the stalks into ¼-inch chunks. If you do not have leftover stems available, you can add more celery at the end of the cooking process, about 10 minutes before the chowder is done, or you can add chayote, kohlrabi, turnips, yellow beets, or fennel. I find the more vegetables in this soup, the better it tastes. If you’re caught with a bounty of fresh thyme and dill, this soup is also a great way of making use of them. From Forks Over Knives - The Cookbook
In a large pot, combine the potatoes, onion, corn
kernels and cobs, carrots, celery, pepper, broccoli
and cauliflower, garlic, thyme, white pepper, cumin,
and 6 cups water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 30
minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Remove the corn cobs and let cool. Remove 1 cup of
the soup and puree in a blender with a tight-fitting
lid, covered with a towel. (If you like a thicker soup,
puree 2 cups.) Return the pureed soup to the pot and
add the dill. Scrape corn cobs with back of a knife to
remove the creamy corn bits from the kernel, and
add the bits to the pot. Season with salt and stir well.
