Vegan Corn Chowder Recipes

VEGAN CORN CHOWDER

Steps:

• Slice the corn off the cob. Stand the corn cobs in a bowl and slice the corn off. Then break the corn cobs in half with your hands. Set aside both the fresh corn and the empty corn cobs.
• Add the vegan butter to a pot along with the chopped onion and sauté until the onions are softened.
• Add in the crushed garlic and dried thyme and sauté with the onions.
• Add the all purpose flour and stir in, then add in the vegetable stock, light coconut milk and coconut cream and whisk together.
• 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.

SIMPLE SUMMER CORN SOUP

Steps:

• To a large saucepan over medium heat, add olive oil, onion, and garlic and sauté for 3-4 minutes.
• Add potato, season with a little salt and pepper, and cover to steam for 4-5 minutes.
• Add most of the corn, reserving a little for garnish, and stir.
• NOTE: If you plan to blend the soup, I recommend (as suggested above) adding half broth, half milk for a creamier texture. But if you intend to leave it unblended, forgo the milk and do all vegetable broth (4 cups | 960 ml) for best texture/flavor.
• Add broth and almond milk (if using), cover, and bring to a low boil. Reduce heat to low. Cook until the potatoes are soft and slide off of a knife when pierced - about 5-10 minutes.
• If blending, add 3/4 of the soup to a blender and blend until creamy and smooth. If using nutritional yeast, add now.
• Transfer soup back to the saucepan and bring back to a simmer. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Cook for at least 10 minutes to let thicken. The longer it simmers, the more flavorful it will be.
• To serve, top with chopped green onion, remaining fresh (or lightly sauteed) corn, and black pepper. Add a sprinkle of paprika for color.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and a few pinches of salt.
• Cook until soft, then add the garlic, celery, and potatoes.
• Slice the kernels off the corn, then use the back of your knife to scrape the juices off of the corn cob and add to the pot. Add the red pepper, celery salt, paprika, a pinch of salt, black pepper, and stir. Cook until the potatoes are slightly softened, about 5 minutes, then add the sherry vinegar, vegetable broth, and coconut milk.
• Cover and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15 more minutes. Let cool slightly, then transfer half the soup to a blender. Blend until creamy then return it back to the pot and stir.
• Taste and adjust seasonings and serve with chopped chives.

CREAMY VEGAN CORN CHOWDER

Steps:

• Watch the video (scroll down a bit) to see all instruction steps.
• Chop the bell pepper, potatoes, and celery stalks into bite-sized pieces, mince the garlic and cut corn off the cob. Save about 3/4 cup of corn kernels for later.
• Heat oil over medium heat in a large pot and add garlic. Sauté for about a minute or two, then add the chopped bell pepper, celery stalks, corn, and all spices. Sauté for about 4 minutes. Stir occasionally.
• Next add the potatoes, the vegetable broth, bay leaf and bring the mixture to a boil.
• Once it starts boiling, turn down the heat to a simmer and cook the soup for about 10-12 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender.
• Take out the bay leaf. Add coconut milk and the rinsed cannellini beans.
• This is how the soup looks before blending.
• Blend the soup using an immersion blender until it's smooth (or leave a few chunks if you prefer). You can also blend the soup in a regular blender. Make sure to work in batches and not to overfill the blender.
• Add the remaining corn kernels to the pot. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add more salt/pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh herbs. Enjoy!
