Creamy Vegan Corn and Red Pepper Blender Soup (gluten-free, soy-free, nut-free, grain-free, salt-free)

This creamy vegan corn and red pepper blender soup blends sweet corn with red bell pepper, spices like cumin and smoked paprika, and nutritional yeast for a subtly savory, smooth texture with bits of more tender corn stirred in for contrast. It's naturally gluten-free and free from common allergens, served warm or chilled depending on preference.

Ingredients

  • 16- ounce sweet corn thawed to room temp (or fresh corn if you have it), divided, frozen, bag
  • red bell pepper deseeded, half of 1 large
  • ¼ cup nutritional yeast
  • 1 coconut oil heaping tablespoon
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper or to taste
  • red onion peeled; optional, half of 1 small
  • 1 to 2 cloves garlic peeled; optional
  • water or use coconut water, milk, almond/soy/nut milk, cream, about 1 cup
  • salt optional to taste
  • black pepper optional to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. To the canister of a high speed blender, add three-quarters of the bag of corn (about 3 cups, just eyeball it), all the remaining ingredients, about 1/2 cup water, and blend. Based on how thick soup is, and personal taste preference, add more water until desired consistency is reached.
  2. After desired consistency is reached, stir in remaining corn by hand to preserve texture.
  3. Optionally, add salt and pepper to taste. I didn’t.
  4. Soup may have gotten warm in your blender canister. If not, and you prefer it warmer, transfer to a microwave-safe bowl and heat until warm, about 1 minute. Alternatively, soup can be heated gently on the stovetop. In warmer months, soup can be served chilled, like gazpacho. Soup will keep airtight in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 4 months.
