Easy Vegan Potato Corn Chowder Recipes

EASY VEGAN POTATO CORN CHOWDER

Steps:

• Heat up a large soup pot over medium low flame. Add the onion, carrot and celery with a drizzle of olive oil ( or a splash of water for WFPB diet) and sautee for 5 minutes until softened. (If using frozen corn make sure to run some warm water over it to thaw it out at this point)
• Stir in the smoked paprika, turmeric, bay leaves, thyme and red pepper flakes. Add the diced potato and corn kernels and pour in the water or veggie stock. Bring to a simmer.
• Cook until the potatoes are soft, about 15 to 20 minutes. Discard the bay and thyme sprigs.
• Add the coconut milk and cook a few more minutes until warmed through. Turn off the flame, add the nutritional yeast and season the chowder to taste with the sea salt.
• At this point you can remove some of the corn and potatoes for garnish and puree the rest of the chowder to your liking using an immersion blender. Alternatively transfer the chowder to a blender and carefully puree until smooth to your liking.
• Serve with the reserved corn and potatoes on top and garnished with the bell pepper, thyme and chives.
