LeafSide 1-Week Meal Plan
Comforting Corn Chowder Soup
Bask in the rich, velvety embrace of summer-sweet corn, now even creamier and bursting with bold, balanced flavor. 🌽 This golden-hued chowder is hearty yet light, swirled into a silken cashew-based broth that blends Southwest warmth with culinary craft.
At its heart: juicy organic corn, smoky green chiles, zesty lime, and a whisper of jalapeño — gentle, layered spices that warm without overpowering. 🥰 Ruby red peppers deepen the flavor, while creamy potatoes, yellow peas, and nutty fonio add satisfying body and nourishment. A final sprinkle of toasted pepitas brings the perfect, craveable crunch. ✨
Both livening and indulgent, this vibrant bowl delivers everyday comfort with a Southwest soul. 🌵💛
- Indulge in guilt-free comfort. 🍲 At just 531 calories, this hearty chowder satisfies cravings without weighing you down. Naturally sweet and gluten-free, corn shines in this nutrient-rich ensemble, linked to a reduced risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and stroke.
- Live longer, feel stronger—with every creamy spoonful. 🕰️🥄 Cashews don’t just add richness — they bring powerful health benefits, too. Regular nut consumption may extend lifespan, support heart health, and help maintain an optimal weight.
- Feel good about sodium that stays in check. 💖 With only 441mg, this bowl supports healthy blood pressure and follows Dr. Greger’s low-salt guidance — no flavor sacrificed.
- Soothe inflammation and spark your metabolism, with every flavorful bite. 🌶️ Turmeric, smoky paprika, jalapeño, and chiles form a warming, anti-inflammatory blend that wards off disease, boosts circulation, digestion, and metabolic health, all while adding crave-worthy depth.
- Stay strong with fiber, protein, and key minerals. 💪🌾 With 12g fiber and nearly 18g protein, this bowl fuels and satisfies. Quinoa, fonio, flax, and cashews provide magnesium for muscles and nerves, while pepitas add zinc for immune support.
- Brighten your plate, and your immune system. 🛡️✨ Red bell pepper, kale, and carrots deliver over 200% of your daily Vitamin A & C, helping to reduce oxidative stress and support immune health.
- Energize your body and improve resilience. 🥔🥕 Potassium from peas and potatoes supports healthy cell function, while onions offer antioxidants that remain effective even after cooking. Nutritional yeast adds a B-vitamin boost — and a comforting ‘cheezy’ touch.
- Support your heart, hormones, and digestion, naturally. 🌱 Flax seeds pack a rare combo of omega-3s and cancer-fighting lignans that help reduce inflammation, balance cholesterol and blood sugar, and keep things moving gently and reliably.
With no added oils and a symphony of whole-food ingredients, this chowder is crafted to support your health without compromising on comfort or flavor. Every bite is a simple, satisfying step toward feeling your best—body, mind, and taste buds included. 🥣
