 Categories: Soups, Vegetarian
      Yield: 8 Servings
 
      1 qt Milk; room temperature
    1/2 pt Heavy cream; room
           -temperature
    1/4 c  Butter
      1 md Onion; diced
      1 md Potato; sliced thinly
      1    Carrot; sliced thinly
      1    Stalk fresh broccoli
    1/2 lb Fresh mushrooms; sliced
      2 tb Tamari
      1 c  Fresh or frozen; (not
           -canned) peas
      1 c  Fresh or frozen corn
      1    Stalk celery; chopped
           Salt
           Pepper
           Fresh parsley; chopped
      1    Scallion; sliced
      1    Fresh tomato; chopped,
           -(optional)
           Tarragon; (optional)
           Basil; (optional)
           Thyme; (optional)
           Savory; (optional)
 
  Cut off tough end of broccoli. Shave tough outer skin from stem and
  slice stem thinly. Chop flowerets.
  
  Sauté all vegetables in butter. When veggies are tender, transfer to
  top of double-boiler kettle. Add 1 qt milk, 1/2 pint heavy cream, and
  2 tb tamari. If you have the milk and cream at room temperature
  before you add it to the veggies, this will reduce heating time and
  lessen your chances of curdling. (Optional: lots of extra black
  pepper). If you like you can add a fresh, chopped tomato. Adjust salt.
  
  Garnish each serving with fresh-chopped parsley and scallions. This
  chowder goes well with crusty, thick slices of garlic bread,
  especially if the garlic bread is covered with grated Parmesan cheese
  and broiled for a few minutes.
