Broccoli Chowder- Vegetarian Recipe theme

Chowder is usually a fish dish, but when I stumbled upon this broccoli chowder recipe I just had to try it as most seafood is not my thing.  It has an optional cheese sprinkle, but if you are vegan just use a cheese substitute or a sprinkle of chopped parsley and dill on top.


Broccoli Chowder

3 cups fresh broccoli florets
2 cups potatoes, peeled and diced
2 cups water
1/3 cup green onions, sliced
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
3 Tbls Earth Balance buttery spread or Almond butter (or butter if you are not vegan)
3 Tbls all-purpose flour
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
2 cups milk of your choice
1 tsp savory or thyme
1/2 cup vegan cheese

Directions:
In a large saucepan, combine broccoli, potatoes, water, onions, salt and pepper.  Bring to a boil.  Reduce hear, cover and simmer for 12-14 minutes until vegetables are tender.  Meanwhile, in another saucepan, melt butter, stir in flour and nutmeg until smooth.  Gradually add milk.  Bring to a boil, cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.  Stir in vegetable mixture, add herbs, heat though and serve sprinkled with cheese.
