Vegan Curried Vegetable Chowder image

This creamy vegan soup is hearty enough for a whole meal, thanks to chickpeas and a host of vegetables. To make it even more filling, you can add a scoop of cooked rice or noodles just before serving. When selecting a vegetable broth for this recipe, try to find one that is lighter in color and flavor so it doesn't overpower the other components.

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium leeks, white and light-green parts only, halved and thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
2 large carrots, chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
Kosher salt
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
2 tablespoons curry powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or more to taste

4 cups vegetable broth

1/2 small head cauliflower, cut into small florets
One 15.5-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup cilantro leaves, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a medium Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium heat. Add the leeks, carrots and potatoes. Season with 1 teaspoon salt.

Bring the soup to a rarpid simmer and cook until reduced slightly and the vegetables are almost tender, about 10 minutes.

This chowder is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some carrots, celery, and potatoes that were about to go bad, so I threw them in the chowder and they were perfect.
