Here is how you make Shrimp, Amaranth, Quinoa, and Corn Chowder:

In a large, heavy pot, melt butter over medium-high heat. Stir in the scallions or leeks, celery, red bell pepper, and carrots. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.Stir in the amaranth and clam juice. Bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in the quinoa and oregano. Return to a boil. Reduce the heat slightly and cook at a gentle boil, partially covered, for 10 minutes.When the quinoa has cooked for 10 minutes, stir the creamed corn whole 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. Add in shrimp and cook until the shrimp turn pink, about 1 minute. Divide into portions and garnish each with a little parsley.Note: The soup thickens on standing; thin as needed and adjust seasonings. 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 tiny opaque bubbles floating on the surface.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.Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user CONNECTED1.
