Chicken Corn Chowder
When you just have to have some traditional “Comfort Food”, few things are as good as a creamy chowder. Our chowder is pretty awesome, but not only is it rich and luxurious, dare we even say decadent, but it is also free from both gluten and dairy.
If you would prefer to make it just gluten-free simply substitute butter for Smart Balance, and heavy cream of half and half for canned coconut milk.
