Cajun Corn Chowder
One of my favorites. Wild rice gives this creamy soup added texture
and a nutty taste to go along with lip-smacking spices.
A little sausage goes a long way

Soup
ingredients:
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 lb. package frozen corn, thawed
1 medium-large onion, coarsely chopped
3-4 medium carrots, coarsely chopped
3-4 garlic cloves, chopped
3/4 cup wild rice
1/4 lb. kielbasa sausage (or andoiulle), quartered lenthwise, then sliced to make little wedges
8 cups chicken stock or broth
1 tsp. each oregano, thyme, basil & cumin
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 12-oz. can fat-free evaporated milk
Salt & pepper to taste
Recipe:
-Bring 2
1/2 cups chicken stock to boil, add wild rice. Reduce heat to
medium-low, cover and cook 40 minutes, until rice is almost tender,
stirring occasionally.
-Heat oil in a large soup pot over medium heat, add onions, carrots and
garlic. Cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add sausage, oregano,
thyme, basil, cumin and cayenne. Cook 5 minutes longer.
-Add four cups chicken broth, bring to boil, then reduce heat, cover (not too tightly) and simmer 20 minutes.
-While that is cooking, put 3/4 lb. corn in blender, add enough
chicken stock to nearly cover corn and blend. Result should be about as
thick as a good milkshake.

I
started cooking healthy soups to eat for lunch about the same
time
I began using Isagenix supplements. Both were attempts to improve my
health and help me to age youthfully. And it works! Now in my 60s, I
feel
like a kid and am still playing rugby with guys half my age.

start, but to really optimize your health you probably need more.
