Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Husk the sweet corn and cut the kernels off the cobs. Set the kernels aside.
- Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes.
- Finely chop the onion.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Peel and dice the carrots.
- Chop the celery.
- Dice the red pepper.
- In a large pot, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and continue to sauté for another minute or until fragrant.
- Add the diced carrots, celery, and red pepper to the pot. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
- Stir in the salt, red pepper flakes, paprika, and ground cumin. Cook for 2 minutes to toast the spices.
- Add the diced potatoes, sweet corn kernels, coconut milk, and water to the pot. Stir well to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, allowing it to simmer.
- Cover the pot and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the flavors are well combined.
- For a creamier chowder, use an immersion blender to blend a portion of the soup directly in the pot. Alternatively, transfer a portion of the soup to a blender, blend until smooth, and then mix it back into the pot.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. You may want to add more salt or spices according to your preference.
- Ladle the chowder into bowls.
- Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs like chopped parsley or cilantro, a squeeze of lime for extra flavor, or a drizzle of additional coconut milk for creaminess.
- Serve the chowder warm. Enjoy your delicious, hearty, and comforting vegan sweet corn chowder!
Tips:
- For added flavor, consider roasting the corn cobs before cutting off the kernels.
- If you prefer a thicker chowder, blend a portion of the soup and mix it back in.
- Customize the spiciness by adjusting the amount of red pepper.
- Use fresh, in-season corn for the sweetest flavor.
- Prepare all your vegetables ahead of time for a smoother cooking process.
- For an extra creamy chowder, you can add a small amount of mashed potatoes or a splash more coconut milk.
Serve your vegan sweet corn chowder hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. This flavorful and nourishing dish is perfect for lunch or dinner, and it tastes even better as leftovers.
