Corn Chowder {lactose-free!}

This post is sponsored by Silk.  All opinions shared are my own.

When I was invited to participate in creating a unique recipe with Silk’s new vanilla cashewmilk, I thought it would be a challenge.  Nope… I totally SCORED on the first try with this creamy, lactose-free and sinfully delicious Corn Chowder!

It doesn’t matter if you’re lactose intolerant or not, you’ll never miss the dairy in this recipe.  Silk Cashewmilk is so creamy, it’s a perfect substitute.  The added sweetness of vanilla also took this corn chowder to a whole new level.

Full of fresh corn (you can also use frozen if you’re in a hurry), bacon, potatoes and seasonings, you’ve got your vegetable, starch and meat packed into one awesome meal.  So… for you busy moms thinking about what’s for dinner once school starts, HERE YOU GO!

Did I mention it reheats beautifully and is even better the next day?!

Instructions

1. In a large saucepan over medium heat, fry the bacon until browned (about 4-5 minutes). Discard all but approximately 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings.
2. Add the sliced leek, thyme, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring often. Add the vanilla cashewmilk and diced potatoes. Increase heat slightly to just below medium-high and bring to a simmer. Cover and gently simmer about 15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
3. Add the corn kernels and stir to combine. Cover and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until corn has reached desired tenderness.
