Non Dairy Vegan Potato Corn Chowder Recipes

CREAMIEST VEGAN CORN CHOWDER

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. Stir cashew mixture into soup pot; season with salt and black pepper.

RICH & CREAMY VEGAN CORN CHOWDER

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.

CHUNKY CORN CHOWDER (VEGAN)

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and begun to brown slightly, about 7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Combine the vegetable broth, potatoes, carrots, corn, 1 1/2 cups soy milk, garlic powder salt, and pepper in a large pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then stir in the onion mixture. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, until the potatoes and carrots are tender, about 20 minutes.
• Whisk together the flour and remaining 1/2 cup soy milk in a bowl. Stir the mixture into the soup, and continue to simmer until the soup has thickened, about 10 minutes. Stir in the parsley before serving.

NON-DAIRY VEGAN POTATO CORN CHOWDER

Steps:

• Put the potatoes and water into a 3 quart saucepan. Bring the water to a boil.
• Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes.
• While the potatoes are cooking, heat the oil in a small skillet. When the oil is hot, add the onion, celery, carrot, bell pepper and thyme or oregano. Stir and cook till vegetables or tender, about 5-7 minutes.
• Remove skillet from heat and put on the side.
• When the potatoes are done, remove the pan from the heat. Using a slotted spoon, transfer about 1 1/2 cups of potatoes to the blender. Add enough soymilk (or other non-dairy milk) to make a smooth mixture. I use only about a half cup or less, usually.
• Add the potato mixture back into the saucepan. Add the corn and the cooked vegetables.
• Heat the chowder on medium heat for about 5-10 minutes.

VEGAN CORN & VEGETABLE CHOWDER

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add bell pepper, garlic and potato. Sauté over medium-low heat stirring often, for 2-3 minutes.
• Stir in flour and cook, stirring for 30 seconds. Gradually stir in vegetable stock and cream.
• Add corn and broccoli. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes or until all the vegetables are tender.
• Stir in cheese until it melts.
• Season and garnish as desired.
