Vegan Corn and Potato Chowder

Vegan Corn and Potato Chowder is a creamy, dairy-free soup made with red potatoes, sweet corn, and a blend of vegetable broth and almond milk. Nutritional yeast adds a subtle savory depth. The chowder simmers until potatoes are tender, creating a comforting texture that can be enjoyed chunky or partially blended for creaminess, making it a versatile vegan soup option.

Ingredients

  • 1 yellow onion
  • 2 lbs. potato about 4-5 cups diced, red
  • 3-4 cloves garlic
  • 3 cups sweet corn (frozen, fresh, or canned)
  • 3 1/2 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 cups almond milk plain & unsweetened
  • 2/3 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1 1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
Toppings (optional):
  • chives or green onions, fresh

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Dice onion. In a large stockpot over medium-high heat, sauté onion in 3 Tbsp. broth/water for about 7-8 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, mince garlic and cut potatoes into about 3/4″ chunks.
  3. Add potatoes and smoked paprika to pot. Cook 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  5. Add broth, milk, corn, and nutritional yeast. Increase heat and bring to a light boil.
  6. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
  7. Salt/pepper to taste, and add more nutritional yeast if desired.
  8. Leave as is, or blend some for a creamier texture. (I like to blend about half with an immersion blender.)
  9. Garnish with fresh chives, green onion, etc. if desired.

Notes

  • Use any plain, unsweetened plant-based milk; soy or cashew milk work well as substitutes for almond milk.
