Creamy is a texture I miss on this diet, and that’s why I like this soup.  It’s got great flavour and freezes well too. 

Corn Chowder

1 chopped onion

1 T olive oil

2 garlic cloves

3 c organic chicken stock (check the ingredients, but organic brands usually have the ingredients you can eat on the detox)

2 medium sweet potatoes peeled and chopped into 1/2 inch or so bits

2 c frozen corn

salt and pepper and any other spices you like

Instructions -  fry the onion in the oil for a couple minutes and add the garlic.  Then add the stock and potato bits, bring to a boil, and then simmer until the potatoes are starting to get soft.  Add the corn and other ingredients.  Add any additional seasonings (I like heat so I added alot of pepper and a bit of chipotle).  Simmer for 5 more minutes.  Then throw half of the soup in a food processor or blender and blend it up.  Add it back and check the seasoning.  Makes 4 servings.

Variation: if you’re going for the “eat all the fish you want” challenge in the detox, throw in a fillet of fish cut into pieces and simmer in the last 5 minutes.
