Quick & Creamy Vegetable Chowder

Serves: 4–6 | Prep Time: 10 mins | Cook Time: 25 mins

The ultimate cozy, clean chowder ready in just 35 minutes! Our Quick & Creamy Vegetable Chowder gets its rich, velvety base from our new CMM Cream of Celery Powder and savory CMM Chicken Bouillon Powder. Packed with tender potatoes and fresh veggies, it’s 100% gluten-free comfort food made without any artificial junk!

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon butter (or dairy-free butter substitute)
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
• 2 ribs fresh celery, diced
• 3 cups russet or Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cubed into ½-inch pieces
• 4 cups chicken broth (4 cups water + 2 tablespoons CMM Chicken Bouillon or Vegetable Bouillon Powder)
• ½ cup CMM Cream of Celery Powder
• 1 cup water (or milk / dairy-free milk of choice for extra richness)
• Salt and fresh cracked black pepper to taste
• Optional Toppings: Crispy bacon bits, shredded cheddar, chopped chives, or fresh parsley

Instructions:

1. Melt the butter in a medium pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and fresh celery, then sauté for 4–5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
2. Add the cubed potatoes and 3 cups of prepared CMM Chicken Bouillon broth to the pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover tightly, and simmer for 20 minutes until fork-tender.
3. In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the CMM Cream of Celery Powder and 1 cup water (or milk) until smooth and no lumps remain.
4. Pour the celery cream mix directly into the simmering pot, stirring continuously to incorporate.
5. Cook uncovered for 3–5 minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally, until it thickens into a rich, velvety chowder. Taste, season with salt and black pepper as needed, and serve hot with your favorite toppings.
