5 Ingredient Seafood Chowder
Introduction
I used to love all things chowder….clam, corn, you name it! I ate the canned stuff all the time (year back when I never checked ingredients and only focused on the nutrition label). But have you ever realized how much added junk there is in what you would think would be so simple!
Well step aside all packaged soups, this CREAMY (dairy free) CHOWDER is making waves (literally) and it’s giving me all the feels in this cold weather! Just 5 simple, gut healing ingredients is all you need to make the magic happen in under 30 minutes. I think you got 30 minutes, right?
Ingredients
1. Wash and slice cauliflower into thick slices and lay flat on a roasting pan. Cover with hot sauce and roast at 350 degrees F for about 20-30 minutes, flipping halfway. Remove from oven and quickly sear each side in a cast iron skillet heated with oil (avocado or coconut are great oils to use for cooking).
2. Using a blender puree greens and hemp hearts, then add salt to taste.
3. Cut up pork sticks into small pieces and air-fry for 4 minutes @ 400 F. Top your soup for that savory, “bacon-y” crunch and enjoy! I also dipped some of my Paleo Bread I had stored in my freezer (perfect addition!) and finished with a little evo hemp Seed Oil.

Tips and Tricks
1. Searing Cauliflower
Searing the cauliflower adds a smoky flavor and enhances texture. Make sure your cast iron skillet is hot before adding the cauliflower to get a good sear.2. Using Garlic
Roasting the garlic with the cauliflower can mellow its flavor, making it sweeter and less pungent.
3. Blending
Blend the cauliflower while it’s still warm for a smoother consistency. If the mixture is too thick, add a bit more bone broth or water to achieve the desired texture.
Variations
Vegetarian Version
- Omit the salmon and pork sticks. Add more vegetables like roasted bell peppers, zucchini, or mushrooms for added texture and flavor.
Spices
- Add a chopped jalapeño or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the cauliflower before roasting for a spicier dish. You can also mix in some hot sauce into the final blend for extra heat.
Herb-Infused
- Add fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, or basil to the blender for a fresh, aromatic twist. You can also sprinkle chopped herbs on top before serving.
