AMARANTH, QUINOA, AND CORN CHOWDER
A friend gave me this recipe in an effort to introduce quinoa into our diet. Quinoa is very good for you and it's yummy in this soup. Amaranth was also new to us - we found it at Good Foods in a bin where you only take as much as you'd like. I'm so glad I made this! Leftovers are yummy too. Maybe add more milk if it gets too thick. Also, I used skim milk instead of whole, but I added some extra unsalted butter.

Steps:
- In a large, heavy pot, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat. Stir in the leeks, celery, red bell pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetable are soft, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the amaranth and 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in the quinoa and thyme. Return to a boil. Reduce the heat slightly and cook at a gentle boil, partially covered, for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a blender or food processor, puree 3 cups of the corn kernels with 1 cup of water. When the quinoa has cooked for 10 minutes, stir the corn puree and the remaining corn kernels into the soup. Add salt to taste. Reduce the heat and simmer until the quinoa and amaranth are tender, 3 to 5 more minutes. When the quinoa is done, there will be no starchy white dot in the center of each grain, and some of the germs' "tails" may unfurl and float freely. On close inspection, the amaranth will look like tiney opaque bubble floating on the surface.
- Stir in the milk and remaining tablespoon of butter. Add more salt, if needed. Divide into portions and garnish each with a little parsley.
- Note: The soup thickens on standing; thin as needed with additional milk, and add salt to taste.
- Variations:.
- For dots of color, use 2 tablespoons of red quinoa and a scant 1/2 cup ivory quinoa. Add the red quinoa when you add the amaranth.
- Use half-and-half or heavy cream instead of milk.
- Use dried tarragon instead of thyme.
- Shrimp, Corn, and Quinoa Soup.
- Instead of water, use 4 cups of fish or clam broth. Use oregano instead of thyme. Once the quinoa is tender, add 1/2 pound peeled small shrimp. Cook until the shrimp turn pink, about 1 minute. Omit the milk.

QUINOA CORN AND SPINACH CHOWDER
Adapted from: "Vegetable Soups from Deborah Madison's Kitchen". "I absolutely adore this soup. It's a meal in a bowl that's just filling enough, plus you can have it on the table in less than thirty minutes. The liquid that comes from cooking the quinoa is so tasty that it becomes the chowder's broth. The only caveat about quinoa is that it's important to rinse it very thoroughly in plenty of water before cooking to rid it of any traces of the slightly bitter saponin that naturally coats the grain. Mostly this has been done for you, but a good rinse is extra insurance. Otherwise, quinoa is perfect: a light, highly nutritious, quick cooking grain. And this chowder is perfect for summer--or any time of the year."

Steps:
- Simmer the quinoa in 7 cups boiling water for 10 minutes.
- While the quinoa is cooking, slice off the top half of the corn kernels, then reverse your knife and press out the milk with the dull edge running down the length of the cobs. Set aside.
- Drain quinoa, but reserve liquid.
- Heat the oil in a 3-quart saucepan with garlic and chile, cook for about 30 seconds over medium heat, then add the cumin, 1/2 tsp salt, and the potatoes.
- Measure 6 cups of the quinoa-cooking water and add it to the pot. Bring to a boil, then add the quinoa and simmer, partially covered, until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Add the corn and its scrapings.
- Turn off the heat, taste for salt, and season the soup with pepper.
- Add the cheese, then stir in the spinach and the green onions. As soon as the spinach is wilted, after 2-3 minutes, serve the soup, garnished with the cilantro and hard-boiled egg if you're using it.
