Raw corn chowder recipe
1 cup fresh corn kernels (you can used well-drained, unsweetened canned corn if you must, but it's so much better raw when using fresh, uncooked corn sliced off the cob!) (plus you'll need more corn to garnish - see below)
1/4 cup cashews
3/4 cup water
3/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup more fresh corn kernels (reserve)
Sprinkle pepper (reserve)
A few sprigs of fresh cilantro, chopped very finely (reserve) (optional)
Directions
1. Peel your corn on the cob. Slice the kernels off the cob by holding the corn cob vertically and slicing down toward your cutting board. Be careful! (If you're using canned corn, make sure to rinse and drain the corn kernels. Pat dry with a clean tea towel.)
2. Add all ingredients (except the second amount of corn, the pepper and the cilantro) into your high-speed blender. Blend on high until very smooth and well-blended. Blend for an abnormally long time because you want this raw corn chowder recipe to be slightly warm when coming out of the blender.
3. Pour liquidy corn mixture into a bowl(s). Add remaining corn and stir with a spoon. Garnish with pepper and chopped cilantro (optional).
4. Eat this raw corn chowder recipe immediately, while still warm from the blender!
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
Raw corn chowder recipes are so good when you want that creamy, warm, cuddly feeling of a bowl of thick soup! And corn is so sweet that this is practically like a yummy, comforting sweet appetizer or entree. Mmm!
If you're using fresh corn for this raw corn chowder recipe you'll want to have at least three or four corn cobs on hand.
This raw corn chowder recipe makes enough for one large bowl for one person or two very small appetizer cups for two people.
Note: I normally add garlic to my raw soup recipes. However, do not add garlic to this raw corn chowder recipe because you want this soup to be quite sweet.

Hi, Laura! my vegetable guy sent me a ton of young corn today. I might as well use them for this recipe. I'll let you know how it goes. :)

I just made this recipe today and it was delicious the amounts required were perfect ;) I would suggest in recipe writing that you mention unsalted or salted nuts, as not everyone would know that and if they made this with salted nuts it might come out too salty.

TIP to make life easier. I grew up in Iowa where we put up a lot of sweet corn. Anytime you need to cut corn off the cob use your angel food cake pan. Put the ear of corn in the small opening and slice down. The pan catches the kernels and the creamy juices and your knife never hits a dulling surface.
