    vegan corn chowder in a white bowl

    I love rich and satisfying plant based soups so this Vegan Corn Chowder is right up my alley! Loaded with buttery potatoes, sweet summer corn, cajun spices and coconut milk instead of dairy cream. Easy, healthy, flavourful and slightly spicy. It’s the ultimate comfort food and naturally gluten free!

    -And it doesn’t have to be a seasonal soup, you can enjoy it year round using canned or frozen corn (I prefer the canned peaches and cream variety if fresh corn on the cob isn’t in available)

    This Vegan Chowder is heavenly! Serve with my Artisan bread, buns or your favourite cornbread recipe and a simple side salad for a perfect weeknight meal the whole family will love.

    What are the ingredients in Vegan Corn Chowder?

    • corn, fresh, canned or frozen
    • potatoes, red or Yukon gold
    • yellow onion
    • celery
    • carrots
    • red pepper
    • canned green chilies
    • bouillon paste
    • vinegar
    • liquid smoke
    • homemade cajun seasoning
    • water
    • coconut milk

    How to make Vegan Corn Chowder?

    Start by prepping all the veggies and then measure the spices and add to a small bowl.

    Prepping the corn: If using fresh corn, shuck the corn and slice off the kernels as close to the cob as possible. I like to cut the tip from the top of the corn. Stand the the corn up with the cut top facing down on cutting board and slice from the top to the bottom. Do this all the way around the Cobb until all kernels are off, cutting as much of the corn off as possible.

    Heat a Dutch Oven/Soup Pot (at least 5 qt) on medium heat. Add the onions, celery, peppers, oil (if using) and a pinch of salt and pepper. Saute for 5 minutes until the veggies are starting to brown a bit.

    Add in the potatoes, carrots, corn and cajun spice blend, give everything a stir. Now add in the rest of ingredients except liquid smoke, vinegar and coconut milk. Bring to a boil on high heat, reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 15 minutes or until potatoes are cooked through.

    For thick and creamy corn chowder: Remove the pot from heat and take two big ladles of soup and puree. Return blended soup to pot, add in the vinegar, liquid smoke and coconut milk.

    Stir the soup and season with additional salt and pepper if necessary. Enjoy!
