Corn is one of my favorite vegetables….and I love it in this chowder with salmon. This dish is easy to prepare and utilizes canned salmon for convenience. Don’t forget to add some shredded cheddar cheese on top, it adds that finishing touch.
- 3 Tablespoons coconut oil or ghee
- 3 Tablespoons garbanzo bean flour
OR all-purpose flour - 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1/2 of a large red bell pepper, chopped
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups raw whole milk
- 2 1/2 cups frozen corn
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced

Heat oil (or ghee) in a 3 to 4 quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and bell pepper, cook until tender, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add in flour and cook for 1 to 2 minutes.

Garnish each serving with shredded cheddar cheese.

ISN’T ALL CORN GMO?
Chris, No not all corn is GMO. Organic corn is not GMO. Also different types of non organic corn is not GMO. An example is feed corn (field corn) that humans do not eat is as corn over 90% GMO and this is what many people get confused on thinking all corn is GMO. Now this field corn is used to make ethanol, feed for animals, and HFC that humans do consume. Other reporters do not do the research to find the real answers. Sweet corn that is what many people eat is around 3 to 4% in 2011 GMO. Now this number could have climbed.
For now organic corn in the US can’t be GMO, we will see how long this lasts. – Jeff
