SUMMARY:KindSoup for Students - Make Corn Chowder to Share With Others
DESCRIPTION:Join us online for KindSoup for Students as we make a Corn Chowder (based on this recipe from Vegan Heaven). After completing your soup\, and sharing some with your family\, freeze and label the rest for donation\, then drop off at one of our participating food assistance providers. \nStudents can earn 1 Student Service Learning Hour for every 2 quarts of frozen soup made with the group and delivered to others.  There is a maximum of 10 quarts that can qualify for any given day (5 SSL hours). Most recipes render at least 6 quarts of soup\, 3 SSL hours.  \nIn order to receive SSL Hours \n\nTake a picture during preparation\, of the finished product\, and at delivery\nreport on where you shared your KindSoup \nComplete this SSL Form  \n\nConnect to Zoom event \n\n\nCorn Chowder\n\n\n\n\n12 medium-sized russet potatoes\, cut into cubes\n4 red bell pepper\, cut into medium-sized chunks\n20 cups corn kernels either fresh or frozen\n8 stalks of celery\, chopped\n4 onion\, finely chopped\n8 carrots\, sliced\n8 bay leaves\n2 teaspoon smoked paprika powder\n2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning (optional) Omit if you don’t want the corn chowder to be a bit spicy!\n16 cups vegetable broth\n4 cup coconut milk\n2 cup unsweetened almond milk\nsalt\, to taste\nblack pepper\, to taste\n4 green onion\, cut into rings\n2 cup fresh parsley\, chopped\n\nSoup Instructions\n\n\n\nCut all the vegetables in bite-sized chunks or slices. Put 2 cups of the corn in a blender together with the coconut milk and the almond milk. Blend until smooth. Set aside.\nIn a large pot\, sauté the onion in some oil until it becomes translucent. Then\, add the vegetables\, the spices\, the bay leaves\, the vegetable broth\, and the pureed corn. Bring to boil and cook for about 15 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.\nDiscard bay leaves. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with the green onion and the fresh parsley. I like this corn chowder best with warm whole wheat baguette.\n\n\n\n\nHealth and Safety Information\nIn order to protect the the quality of our KindSoup program\, we ask that volunteers conscientiously observe the following guidelines: \n\nStart with clean hands and wash again frequently as needed throughout the cooking process.\nStart with clean kitchen surfaces and utensils (antibacterial wipes do a great job).\nKeep longer hair tied back.\nFollow other common sense procedures\, such as never returning a tasting spoon to the pot!\n\nThank you for maintaining a high cleanliness standard for our KindSoup donations! \nSTUDENTS:  \nPrior to our Sunday\, September 6th cooking session:  \n\nConfirm your participation by signing up at the bottom of this page\nGather your ingredients\nMake sure that you have either a Soup Pot large enough to hold all of this soup\, or two smaller ones that will together hold it all\nHave 6 quart sized plastic soup containers with tight fitting lids (ask your neighbors if you could have theirs rather than them recycling them – they will be thrilled)\n\nHave all of your ingredients and cooking tools out and ready for when you sign on to our zoom at 5pm.

We meet in the parking lot in front of the Mid-Atlantic Federal Credit Union and set out from there. Kindly note that gloves and trash pickers will be available on a limited first come first serve basis\, so please bring your own if you have any.\n \nStudent Service Learning\nStudents can earn SSL hours for participation. \nInclement Weather Policy\nIn the event of severe weather or other unsafe conditions\, including heavy rain\, thunderstorms\, snow\, ice\, extreme heat\, extreme cold\, poor air quality\, or other hazardous conditions\, the event may be canceled.
