Corn Quinoa Chowder Recipe

This tasty recipe is quick to put together and doesn’t take too long to cook.  Quinoa is rich in protein, fiber and vitamins.  You can make this recipe a vegan recipe by using vegetable broth and an alternative to regular milk such as soy, almond or oat milk as long as its unflavored.  The longer you cook this chowder, the thicker it will get.  You can add more or less milk, depending on how thick you’d like your chowder.

Enjoy!
