CORN, MUSHROOM, AND POTATO CHOWDER (VEGAN)



Corn, Mushroom, and Potato Chowder (Vegan) image

Vegan comfort food! This recipe is inspired by one from Alex Jamieson's The Great American Detox Diet, but modified quite a bit by me. If you have picky eaters at your house, you can leave the mushrooms on the side and let each person decide whether to add them to his/her bowl.

Categories     Cream Soups

Time 8h20m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 chopped onion
1 stick butter or margarine
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp pepper
2 c chicken broth
2 c water
1 1/4 c chopped mushrooms (canned or fresh)
2 stalks celery chopped
1 c sliced carrots
2 c milk
1/4 c parmesan cheese
1 Tbsp minced garlic
2 c chopped potatoes

Steps:

  • 1. Saute garlic,onion, carrots, mushrooms and celery with 1/2 of the butter until soft. Add potatoes and the rest of the butter along with garlic salt, salt and pepper to taste. I use parsley garlic salt. Continue saute until potatoes are coated well with butter and start to brown.
  • 2. Transfer this to warm crock pot and add broth and water and stir well. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or 3-4 hours on high.
  • 3. Stir well and add milk - I use 1/4 cup half and half and 1 3/4 skim milk. Add cheese and stir well and cook on high for an additional 30 minutes. I add 3 tablespoons of corn starch with 1/4 cup water mixed well along with 1 3/4 cups of instant potatoes to thicken my soup at this point. Serve with cheeses, croutons and sour cream if desired.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of mushrooms. This will add depth of flavor to your chowder. Some good options include cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms.
  • Sauté the mushrooms before adding them to the chowder. This will help to brown them and bring out their flavor.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your chowder.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes. They should be tender, but not mushy.
  • Add the cream or milk at the end of cooking. This will prevent it from curdling.
  • Season the chowder to taste. You may want to add additional salt, pepper, or herbs.
  • Garnish the chowder with fresh parsley or chives. This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Potato and mushroom chowder is a hearty and flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own tastes. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
