    Creamy Golden Corn Soup

    By Alisa Fleming on October 21, 2014 Dairy-Free Recipes, Soup

    I’m so excited to announce today’s release of Super Seeds: The Complete Guide to Cooking with Power-Packed Chia, Flax, Hemp, Quinoa and Amaranth, by my friend Kim Lutz. To celebrate, and offer a taste of her new cookbook, Kim is sharing her golden corn soup recipe with us. It is naturally low-fat, vegan, gluten-free, and wonderfully nourishing for those of us on the dairy-free diet.

    Creamy Golden Corn Soup - dairy-free, vegan recipe from Superseeds!

    Super Seeds - The Complete Guide to Cooking with Power-Packed Chia, Flax, Hemp, Quinoa & Amaranth by Kim LutzSuper Seeds is filled with 75 convenient and versatile recipes, including muffins, breads, salads, soups, and desserts, in addition to nutritional information and everyday advice for getting the most out of these nutrient-dense seeds.

    Throughout Super Seeds, Kim also shares tidbits about the ingredients used, such as the amaranth in this golden corn soup:

    Amaranth’s vibrant colors and hardy disposition make it an excellent addition to home gardens, and it can be planted for decoration or eating. Varieties have either blonde or black seeds. Blonde seeds are preferred in cooked dishes, however, because black seeds can make for gritty eating. Some amaranth varieties have wonderfully evocative names like Elephant Head, Love Lies Bleeding, and Golden Giant.

    Using an immersion blender in your soup pot makes this recipe one of the easiest comfort foods you can whip up. For an even silkier texture, puree it in batches in a standard blender. This soup’s golden color brings a ray of sunshine (and vitamins A and C) into even the rainiest day! You can dress up this pretty soup with a simple garnish, such as a sprig or two of fresh thyme.

      Looks delicious! t I’ve never used or heard of amaranth. Where can I find this? Thanks!

        It’s usually sold with the gluten-free flours and grains in the baking section. I usually buy grains like this online though. It’s available via sites like Amazon -> https://amzn.to/2PX8EkX

      What a delicious looking soup! I’ve never cooked with (or eaten) amaranth, so it would be a great introduction to that grain. thanks for the explanation about blonde and black seeds – when I look at a grain variety I don’t know, I’m often confused if it’s not the color I’m expecting.

      amaranth is one grain I have never used in cooking, but have been curious to try; this soup look just wonderful

      I just happened to have some amaranth that I bought on impulse! This soup looks totally tasty.

      I’m not familiar with Amaranth but now I’m curious; this soup sounds great!

        It’s a great little grain, but SO tiny! I think millet is my favorite, but amaranth is a little more mineral dense with things like calcium and has tons of tasty uses!

          I don’t have any experience with millet but I can’t have amaranth right now. Can I do an even substitute with millet instead of amaranth? Thanks!

            Millet is a little larger grain than amaranth with a slightly different texture, so I honestly couldn’t tell you how it would turn out without testing it. But you can try it!

      “Love Lies Bleeding” certainly is an evocative name for amaranth! I’m guessing that’s what gives it the creamy texture? I imagine the starch in the corn helps, too. But it’s always fascinating to find out how many non-dairy ingredients can make a soup (or any dish) taste “creamy”.

      Reply
      • Alisa Fleming on February 7, 2015 7:38 am

        Yes, quite a contradiction from “Elephant Head”! Indeed, the amaranth and the corn itself give it the creamy consistency. I work with dairy-free options every day, and I’m still amazed at how many foods can be made creamy!
