Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 tbsp oil
3 garlic cloves (minced)
1 red bell pepper (chopped)
2 stalks celery (chopped)
3 small/medium potatoes (chopped)
4 medium ear fresh corn (or use frozen)
4 cups vegetable broth
1 (15 oz) can cannellini beans (rinsed and drained)
1 cup coconut milk (canned)
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon salt + more to taste
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (or less/more to taste)
1/4 tsp smoked paprika
Black pepper to taste
Ground thyme to taste
Fresh herbs to garnish

Steps:

  • Watch the video (scroll down a bit) to see all instruction steps.
  • Chop the bell pepper, potatoes, and celery stalks into bite-sized pieces, mince the garlic and cut corn off the cob. Save about 3/4 cup of corn kernels for later.
  • Heat oil over medium heat in a large pot and add garlic. Sauté for about a minute or two, then add the chopped bell pepper, celery stalks, corn, and all spices. Sauté for about 4 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  • Next add the potatoes, the vegetable broth, bay leaf and bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Once it starts boiling, turn down the heat to a simmer and cook the soup for about 10-12 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender.
  • Take out the bay leaf. Add coconut milk and the rinsed cannellini beans.
  • This is how the soup looks before blending.
  • Blend the soup using an immersion blender until it's smooth (or leave a few chunks if you prefer). You can also blend the soup in a regular blender. Make sure to work in batches and not to overfill the blender.
  • Add the remaining corn kernels to the pot. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add more salt/pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh herbs. Enjoy!

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium white onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 poblano pepper, seeded and diced (can also use 1 seeded jalapeno)
4 cups diced yukon gold potatoes
4-5 cups cups fresh sweet corn (can also use frozen)
1 (15 ounce) can light coconut milk (or regular milk if not vegan)
2 1/2 cups vegetarian broth

1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
To garnish, if desired: greek yogurt or goat cheese, cilantro and scallions

Steps:

  • In a large soup pot over medium heat add the olive oil, onion, garlic, poblano, diced potatoes, corn and saute for 6-8 minutes or until potatoes start to soften.

CRAZY RICH VEGAN CORN CHOWDER



Crazy Rich Vegan Corn Chowder image

Many people think you can't use words like thick, rich and creamy to describe vegan food. This is a vegan chowder recipe that proves you wrong. Seriously. After a week of bronchitis and rainy cold weather, I decided it was time for a chowder. This is really rich, super tasty, filling and actually pretty easy to make. I like to eat it with some nice fluffy french bread, but you could aslo serve it with biscuits or even in a breadbowl.

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 1/4 cups unsweetened soymilk
4 ounces vegan cream cheese
1 onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 leek, finely chopped
1 cup celery, finely chopped
1/4 cup vegan butter (like earth balance)
2 tablespoons vegan butter (like earth balance)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 -1 1/4 cup water
1 1/2 cups vegetable stock
4 small-medium potatoes, cut into small cubes
2 1/2 cups frozen corn (thawed)
salt and pepper
vegan bacon, fried and chopped (optional)
fresh sage (garnish)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together cream cheese and unsweetened soy milk until it is well combined and frothy. Set it aside.
  • In a large saucepan or small soup pot, heat 2 tbsp of butter over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, leeks and celery. sautee until the onions and celery are tender. If using bacon, add it now.
  • Make a roux. Add the remaining butter, let it begin melting and add the flour but by bit, stirring as you add it. Add the poultry seasoning/ sage. When the butter and flour have been fully combined, keep moving it around in the pan until it begins to heat up and begins to brown.
  • When the roux has begun to brown, begin adding the stock and water, scraping the bottom of the pan to lift any of the roux that has stuck to the pan. Stir while adding the liquid. Add the potatoes.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are soft, stirring often. If you find the mixture too thick (like that's possible!) just add 1/4 cup of water.
  • When the potatoes have softened, add the corn and the milk and cream cheese mixture a little at a time, stirring as you add. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. Continue heating the soup until the corn is hot and the potatoes are fully tender, being careful not bring the mixture to a boil again.
  • Remove from heat, and serve with a leaf or two fresh sage, or fresh chives sprinkled on top.

Tips:

  • For a creamier chowder, use full-fat coconut milk. If you prefer a lighter chowder, use low-fat or light coconut milk.
  • Be sure to use fresh or frozen corn kernels for the best flavor. Avoid using canned corn, as it can be mushy and flavorless.
  • If you don't have vegetable broth on hand, you can use water instead. However, vegetable broth will add more flavor to the chowder.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to the chowder, such as diced potatoes, carrots, or celery.
  • Serve the chowder with a side of crusty bread or crackers for a complete meal.
