Potato vegetable chowder 💚

This is based on the chowder ("creamy vegetable soup" by @dishingouthealth) that @blue_collard_dude recommended a while back. I haven't had it in a while and it's been wonderfully overcast and chilly and rainy here the past few days so I thought this really stellar soup might be fun before the warm weather really kicks in and melts me into a puddle 🫠

I made it almost exactly like I did before, with ¾ tsp dry thyme, 4 tsp homemade plant-based low-salt chicken-style bouillon powder (ya know, HPBLSCSBP for short), frozen mixed veg, frozen potatoes O'Brien, ⅔ cup cashews + ⅓ cup white beans blended, and this time I added a heaping cup of frozen cooked pinto beans instead of chickpeas. Actually, I've never made this with chickpeas like the original calls for. I'm sure it's very good, but those chickpeas can be SUCH flavor attention hogs in dishes like this so I keep opting for milder creamy beans. Also, I've eaten a bonkers amount of chickpeas in the past few days.. one more serving and I'm gonna have to go by @craigschickpeatable.

Anyway, this soup is great and if you haven't tried it yet then that's on YOU! It's one of those dishes that's like ok, ok, ok, la, la, la, and then you pour in the creamy mix about 10 minutes before it's done and all the aromas suddenly bind together and hit you all at once. It's awesome.
