CHUNKY CORN CHOWDER (VEGAN)



Chunky Corn Chowder (Vegan) image

A comforting and satisfying chowder with chunky veggies - perfect for a cold winter's day or any time you crave comfort soup! My son has severe food allergies and cannot have any dairy or egg - so I created this to satisfy his craving for soup! I make it a point to create recipes for him that the rest of the family is also thrilled to eat and this definitely meets that criteria. It tastes a little more broth-like than traditional chowders, but was very comforting nonetheless.

CORN CHOWDER WITH A KICK



Corn Chowder With a Kick image

Trying several corn chowders, I decided to try to come up with one with a little more pazazz. Atfer many errors, I developed this hearty corn chowder. I use Jimmy Dean or Williams brands of hot sausage to spice this soup up a bit. My husband, who's not much of a soup eater, even asks for this soup on cold fall and winter days. I usually serve it with crusty french bread.

Categories     Chowders

Time 45m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

32 ounces chicken broth
3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
1 teaspoon red devil pepper sauce
1 lb spicy bulk sausage
1/2 cup onion, chopped
8 ounces cream cheese, softened and cubed
2 (15 ounce) cans whole kernel corn, drained
2 (15 ounce) cans creamed corn
1 cup milk
seasoning salt
pepper

Steps:

  • In a 5 qt dutch oven, put chicken broth, pepper sauce and potatoes. Boil until pototoes are fork tender.
  • While potatoes are cooking, brown sausage and onions. When all of the pink is out of the sausage add cream cheese cubes and heat until cheese is completely melted. Heat this mixture slowly and stir often so the cheese doesn't scorch.
  • When potatoes are done, add sausage mixture to potatoes and broth and mix well.
  • Add corn and milk. Stir. Add seasoned salt and pepper to taste. Heat just until it just starts to boil. Turn heat down to a slow simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Tip: This soup tends to thicken so more milk can be added, or whole kernel corn can be added without draining it.Recipe can be cut down but it does not freeze well.

RICH & CREAMY VEGAN CORN CHOWDER



Rich & Creamy Vegan Corn Chowder image

Rich, hearty, comforting, buttery ... I can think of so many adjectives to describe my new favorite corn chowder recipe. Who needs the dairy? Not moi!

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Categories     Main Course

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium yellow onion (diced) (about 2 cups diced)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/8 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon kosher salt + more to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper + more to taste
2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
1 (15-ounce) can lite coconut milk
1 pound Yukon gold potatoes (unpeeled, cut into 1/2-inch dice) (about 3 cups)
4 sprigs fresh thyme (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)
1 (16-ounce) bag frozen sweet corn kernels

Steps:

  • Set a medium soup pot over low heat. Add the olive oil and the onion. Sweat the onion - cook it low and slow - until tender and translucent, 10-12 minutes.
  • Increase the heat to medium-low and add the flour, dry mustard, smoked paprika, turmeric, and salt. Cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes.
  • Slowly add the vegetable broth and deglaze the pan, stirring up any cooked bits that are stuck to the pan. Add the coconut milk, potatoes, and thyme.
  • Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Reduce heat back to low and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove from heat. Remove the thyme stems. Stir in the corn.
  • Transfer half of the mixture - about 3 1/2 cups - to the pitcher of a blender. Puree completely and then add back to the soup.
  • Return pot to low heat and heat the soup back up. Taste and add more salt and pepper if desired.
  • Serve. I like to top individual bowls with a bit of fresh thyme and an extra sprinkle of black pepper, but it's not necessary!
  • Keeps well refrigerated for about 3 days.

CREAMIEST VEGAN CORN CHOWDER



Creamiest Vegan Corn Chowder image

The base of this soup used to be a roux-thickened chicken broth with milk and cheese added. However, since becoming vegan, I had to adapt, and I'm proud to say that this version is thicker and creamier than the original, and it was all achieved without a drop of flour or milk. It's not only the best vegan corn chowder recipe I've had, but it's just plain the best corn chowder ever. Even my non-vegan family loves it, and they request it regularly. This recipe makes a lot, but it keeps and freezes very well.

Time 1h15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
3 ribs celery, finely chopped
3 carrots, finely chopped
4 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and finely diced
1 head cauliflower, cut into bite-size pieces
2 bay leaves
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon dried oregano
2 quarts vegetable broth
8 cups fresh corn kernels, divided
1 cup cashews
⅓ cup nutritional yeast
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat; cook and stir onion, celery, and carrots in the hot oil until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir potatoes, cauliflower, bay leaves, thyme, and oregano into vegetables; cook about 5 minutes more.
  • Pour vegetable broth and 6 cups corn kernels and into vegetable mixture and bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until vegetables are tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove and discard bay leaves.
  • Place remaining 2 cups corn kernels, cashews, and nutritional yeast into a blender and add several large spoonfuls of simmering broth to blender. Work in batches if necessary, filling blender no more than half full per batch. Cover lid with a dish towel and hold lid down; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend until smooth.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, sweet corn. This will give your chowder the best flavor. If you can't find fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned corn, but fresh corn will definitely give you the best results.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot. If you add too much corn to the pot, it will not cook evenly and will become mushy. Add the corn in batches, if necessary.
  • Simmer the chowder for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the chowder, the more flavorful it will be.
  • Season the chowder to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a bit of acidity, such as lemon juice or vinegar, to brighten the flavor.
  • Serve the chowder with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include croutons, shredded cheese, chopped bacon, and diced avocado.

Conclusion:

Vegan corn chowder is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold day. It is also a great way to use up leftover corn. With its creamy texture, smoky flavor, and spicy kick, this chowder is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a comforting and flavorful soup, give this vegan corn chowder a try. You won't be disappointed!
