Hello everyone,
Today I am so excited to share my latest recipe for Summer Zucchini & Corn Chowder using Pacific Foods Cashew Vanilla Unsweetened Non-Dairy Beverage. I just love a creamy, sweet and savory soup for a long summer day. If you’ve sought out a non-dairy beverage to replace milk, you’ve probably seen Pacific Foods on the shelf at your local grocery store. Pacific Foods actually offers the broadest range of shelf-stable plant-based beverages including almond, coconut, hazelnut, soy, rice, oat, hemp, and cashew.
For today’s recipe, I used Pacific Foods Cashew Vanilla Unsweetened Non-Dairy Beverage. It added the perfect touch of sweetness and contributed to a creamy base for this dish. Using summer fresh veggies and a limited amount of spices, this soup tastes fresh and light, yet comforting.
Cheers & happy eating!
