Notes
- Fresh corn: Whenever possible make this soup with fresh corn.
- Don’t waste the cobs: Use them to add more corn flavor to the soup while it cooks and also give the soup a creamy texture thanks to the corn starch they release into the soup.
- Don’t want hot soup in the summer? This vegan corn chowder without potato tastes great at room temperature or cold too!
