Protein, calcium & more…the health benefits of this spicy corn chowder!
21 grams of protein per serving from a vegetarian corn chowder recipe? Now that certainly is not the number you get from every soup. Thanks to the milk and cheese, this dish provides a good amount of complete protein for vegetarians, meaning it provides all the essential amino acids you need to get from your diet (but if that sounds like too much dairy for you, check out our dairy-free high protein vegan soups instead!). Milk and cheese in this creamy corn chowder recipe also help you to get 40% of your daily calcium intake. Calcium is associated with stronger bones and teeth. Both calcium and protein are needed for muscle growth as well. Onion, red bell pepper, and corn boost the vitamin C levels in this soup. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that clears free radicals from your body and strengthens your immune system. A strong immune system is something we all need, especially during winter, and a healthy corn chowder recipe is a good place to start strengthening yours.
Even the spices have health benefits!
Last but not least, we cannot overlook the benefits of spices in this recipe. Cumin seeds contain flavonoids which work as antioxidants to keep free radicals away from our bodies. Curry powder is usually a mixture of powerful spices like turmeric, coriander, cumin, and more. Thanks to these healthful spices, curry powder may offer many health benefits, such as supporting the digestive system and controlling blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Chili pepper helps to boost your metabolism due to its chemical compound capsaicin. A review of studies shows that capsaicin in chili peppers increases energy expenditure by approximately 50 calories per day. It also helps to reduce appetite and daily energy intake. An easy corn chowder recipe (no cooking skills needed!), that is healthy AND super tasty, is waiting for you to cook. Lunch or dinner doesn’t matter; it’ll make you happy and warm anytime you have it. If you’d prefer a vegan potato and corn chowder, this one is really good too!
