Chilean Corn and Un-turkey Chowder - 38g Carbs, 6g Fiber, 4g Sugar
From: Vegetarian Times...Issue: November 1, 2008 p.62
This savory chowder is inspired by pastel de choclo, a Chilean corn
and meat pie. Feel free to add leftover vegetables to the soup, or
you can even turn it into a pot pie by topping the finished soup with
leftover Thanksgiving stuffing, then broiling 2 to 3 minutes, or until
the stuffing is browned and crispy.
