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.
