Vegan Corn Chowder Recipes

CREAMY VEGAN CORN CHOWDER

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in onions and celery; cook until just slightly golden. Stir in carrots and garlic; cook until garlic is slightly golden.
• Meanwhile, bring water to a boil over high heat. Stir in bouillon, and reduce heat to medium. When bouillon cubes have dissolved, add corn and the vegetables from the skillet. Cook until vegetables are tender. Add water, if necessary. Reduce heat to low, and pour in 1 cup soy milk. Stir soup well, then stir in remaining 1 cup soy milk. Quickly whisk in flour. Stir in parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until chowder thickens, about 15 to 20 minutes.

• Add in the crushed garlic and dried thyme and sauté with the onions.

• Add in the peeled chopped potatoes, the empty corn cobs (you don't need to use all of them, just as many as can comfortably fit in the pot) along with the bay leaf.
• Bring to a simmer and then cover the pot and let everything cook for around 25 minutes until the potatoes are soft.
• Remove the corn cobs and the bay leaf.
• Add the fresh corn and let it cook for 5 minutes and then add in the chopped green onions and stir in. Add the salt and sprinkle on some black pepper to taste.
• Serve with more chopped green onions on top and a sprinkle of ground black pepper.

• In a large dutch oven, heat oil/water over medium heat, add onion, celery, and red bell pepper, saute for 7 minutes. Add the garlic, thyme, and optional smoked paprika after 5 minutes.
• Add the corn, potatoes, bay leaves, and vegetable broth, bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover askew, and simmer for 15 minutes (or until potatoes are fork-tender). Add the vegan cream or coconut milk 5 minutes before soup is done. Remove from heat.
• Let chowder cool a few minutes and remove the bay leaves. Transfer 2 - 3 cups of the soup to a blender and puree. Add back to the soup, stir well, and season to taste with salt and pepper. For a thicker soup, puree up to half. Soup will thicken upon standing.
