Vegetarian “Clam” Chowder

Chef’s Notes: Thick soup once it gets the cream. Mushrooms are the “clams”. And it’s actually really cool the idea of this. And the starchy water is important for even more thickening and flavor. You could use an alternate milk, but I think it’ll add unnecessary flavors into it.

Ingredients

Soup

2 tbsp +  2 tbsp vegan butter, divided

1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

1 lb cremini mushrooms, sliced

Kosher salt

1 medium yellow onion, chopped

2 medium carrots, thinly sliced into rounds

4 garlic clove, minced

1 tbsp miso paste (I used white miso)

1/2 cup white wine

2 cup water

2 lb Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and chopped into roughly ¾-inch cubes

1 bay leaf

1/2 tsp dried thyme, to taste

Chopped parsley leaves, for serving

oyster crackers, for serving

Cream Sauce

2 large russet potatoes, peeled and chopped

1 tsp salt

2 cup of potato water

1/2 cup powdered milk (or however much it takes to make 2 cups)

If you want to be vegan, use 2 cup nut milk instead of the water+milk

Instructions

1. In a medium pot, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat.

2. Add oil and mushrooms and season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender and any liquid they’ve given off has evaporated, about 5 minutes.

3. Transfer mushrooms to a plate.

4. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add onion and carrot and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are softened, about 3 minutes.

5. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes.

6. Stir in miso.

7. Add wine to pot and increase heat to medium-high. Bring to a boil and cook until wine evaporates, about 3 minutes.

8. Add water, Yukon potatoes, and bay leaf to the pot. (There should be just enough water to cover potatoes; add a little more as needed.) Season with salt and bring to a boil. Cover pot, reduce heat to medium, and simmer until potatoes and carrots are tender, about 10 minutes.

Continue cooking while this simmers. Turn heat to low and do a very low simmer once vegetables are tender.

9. In a small saucepan, cover russet potatoes with at least 1 inch of water. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and place over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and cook until potatoes are very tender, about 7 minutes. Drain.

10. Transfer cooked russet potatoes to a blender. Add almond milk. Puree until smooth.

11. When soup vegetables are tender, uncover the pot, remove bay leaf. Add potato cream, mushrooms, and dried thyme; stir to combine. Season with salt and thyme to taste.

12. Ladle soup into bowls and top with parsley and oyster crackers.

meal ideas!

low energy ("do not ask me to do any prep work at all, so help me god")

mozzerella cheese wrapped in pepperoni ("pizza tacos"!)

hummus and pretzels or naan (putting the naan in the microwave for like 10 seconds...heavenly)

canned chili (with shredded cheese and sour cream if you have it! boom done!)

instant miso soup (warm and lovely! put tofu in it for protein!)

cheese and cured meat, olives, canned fish, crackers, dried fruit, or whatever easy "charcuterie" type items you like

alternate bites of apple and spoonfulls of peanut butter (mixing honey or chocolate chips to the peanut butter is my favorite)

a "deconstructed sandwich": bites of lunch meat, pickles, cheese, cherry tomato, etc (I love roast beef and white cheddar for this)

yogurt and granola or fruit

put frozen potstickers + frozen edamame in the steamer/rice cooker, chill elsewhere with a timer set, then boom

tortilla chips + canned refried beans + cherry tomatoes + cilantro + jarred salsa con queso (or warm shredded cheese on top of the chips in the microwave for 30 seconds)

bagel + cream cheese + lox

microwave scrambled eggs (add things like green onion, soy sauce, or anything else you like!)

cottage cheese and fruit (mixed together or just on the side)

bowl of shredded rotisserie chicken + buffalo sauce + a bit of mayo + green onion (use a kitchen scissors to cut them right in!)

medium energy ("I'll boil water but don't ask me to chop shit")

boiled eggs and fresh veggies (put a little salt on top of the eggs!)

buttered noodles (my go-to nausea meal, it has never failed me. ideas of things to add: frozen peas, imitation crab, roasted garlic)

baked potato with toppings (I like cheese, bacon, broccoli, green onion, and sour cream)

quesadilla (add some canned beans, cilantro, or avocado!)

pot roast (requires a lot of time but not a lot of actual work. I love it with peas!)

cuban sandwich (bread, swiss, pickle, mustard, ham... my favorite thing to panini-ify by far)

pan-fried tofu with scallion sauce (this sauce goes well with everything and tofu is no exception)

pancakes or waffles! (I love mine with jam)

ham, pickle, and cream cheese roll-ups

fried eggs (with toast and lots of butter...so comforting)

fruit smoothie (bananas, frozen strawberries, yogurt...or whatever!)

I hate salad but could write essays on this copycat olive garden salad (throw it in a bowl! chopping required if you use onion)

spaghetti (controversial maybe but angel hair > spaghetti noodles)

pasta salad (olives broccoli fresh mozerella... those little mini pepperonis... yeah)

stir-fried thai garlic shrimp (I like using the mini frozen salad shrimps, it's easy! use jarred minced garlic to avoid chopping!)

tuna mayo onigiri

slow cooker ribs

buffalo chicken wrap (or any number of other wrap options! shred pre-cooked rotisserie chicken to make it easier)

if your local grocery store sells pre-cooked gyro strips, that can turn into an easy wrap with store-bought pita & tzatziki with tomatoes and onions!

couscous and chickpeas

tortellini + pasta sauce + spinach

high energy ("I don't mind chopping some things up!")

stuffed shells with spinach

chicken and roasted garlic (oh my god.....one of my all time favorites)

beef tacos (I like mine with cilantro and onion, and when I'm feeling especially high energy I love a tomatillo salsa)

chicken alfredo

tom kha gai (a thai soup and my absolute favorite! you just need access to galangal)

lasagna! (freezes well and then boom! low energy meal for later)

pad thai! (not as hard as you'd think, as long as you have access to tamarind paste!)

potstickers! (this is a lovely group activity if you want to cook with housemates!)

rice and beans

bang bang shrimp (ogughfhgfuh I love it. you can also do bang bang tofu!)

minestrone soup (so many nice veggies!)

fried rice (put whatever you have on hand in there! broccoli, peas, carrot, and beef is my favorite combo)

broccoli cheddar soup

spring rolls and peanut sauce

skewers (such as beef, onion, zucchini, bell pepper... you don't need a grill, oven works!)

roasted turkey with garlic parmesean asparagus

pork chop with mashed potatoes

panang curry

chicken gnocchi soup (use store bought gnocchi or make your own if you have a high energy day!)

bibimbap (super customizable depending on what veggies you like best)

butter chicken

plus! things that have helped me meal plan:

whenever you think of a meal you'd like to make, take 3 seconds to google search it, take a screenshot of the image results, and put it in a "food ideas" folder. instant visual menu!

the concept of "meal prepping" makes me recoil but I've learned that it can simply mean preparing shredded chicken, boiled eggs, or some other simple protein that you can customize throughout the week. shredded chicken can turn into wraps, salads, pasta dishes, etc... you don't have to meal prep yourself into the same meal all week!

when I have difficulty working up an appetite, I'll scroll through my favorite restaurant menus! there might be some foods I can't make at home, but many times they're very simple to recreate because the ingredients are literally listed!

Celebrating rabbits with ube: week of 1/16/23

Red bean paste ube butter mochi cake

Grade: A

I think this recipe can’t really go wrong. This time I added ube powder and dollops of red bean paste as filling on top of blending in red bean paste into the batter.

I wish the ube taste and color were stronger but I probably need to add more ube powder next time, and there were pockets where I didn’t mix the flour properly.

Recipe: Hawaiian butter mochi from Wild Wild Whisk

Modifications: ube powder for some mochiko; dolloped and blended in red bean paste; reduced sugar

Sourdough ube white chocolate cookies

Grade: A-

Another pretty classic recipe that I enjoy but don’t make often due to scarcity of ube and the unhealthiness of white chocolate chips. Shaping could be better and white chocolate chips burn a little during baking, but that’s all the nitpicking I would do.

Recipe: sourdough ube white chocolate macadamia nut cookies from Make it Dough

Modifications: reduced sugar and skipped macadamia nuts for more white chocolate chips

Miso salmon with carrots and potatoes

Grade: A-

Tried to bring a savory dish for a change. It’s actually not bad, but a bit on the salty side, and Mom says the salmon was a few minutes overbaked probably because I was afraid it’d be raw. Should also chop potatoes into smaller pieces next time.

Recipe inspired by: miso salmon from Just One Cookbook

Modifications: didn’t follow the proportions laid out for the sauce; added potatoes and multi-colored carrots
