Steps:
- Set a medium soup pot over low heat. Add the olive oil and the onion. Sweat the onion - cook it low and slow - until tender and translucent, 10-12 minutes.
- Increase the heat to medium-low and add the flour, dry mustard, smoked paprika, turmeric, and salt. Cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes.
- Slowly add the vegetable broth and deglaze the pan, stirring up any cooked bits that are stuck to the pan. Add the coconut milk, potatoes, and thyme.
- Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Reduce heat back to low and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat. Remove the thyme stems. Stir in the corn.
- Transfer half of the mixture - about 3 1/2 cups - to the pitcher of a blender. Puree completely and then add back to the soup.
- Return pot to low heat and heat the soup back up. Taste and add more salt and pepper if desired.
- Serve. I like to top individual bowls with a bit of fresh thyme and an extra sprinkle of black pepper, but it's not necessary!
- Keeps well refrigerated for about 3 days.

Steps:
- Add first three ingredients to a large slow cooker, layered in the order they are listed (potatoes on the bottom, then onions and pepper on top).
- Add the next ten ingredients to the blender and blend until smooth. Pour blended mixture over the potatoes, onions, and peppers. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours.
- About one hour before you wish to serve the chowder, put the remaining two cups almond milk and the raw cashew pieces in your blender. Add several ladles full of the simmering chowder (about 3-4 cups worth), making sure to get lots of potatoes. Blend mixture until completely smooth (for Blendtec, use the "soup" button), then pour back into the slow cooker.
- Add the frozen corn, stir, cover, and turn up to high for one hour. Serve with fresh, crusty bread or rolls!
- NOTES: 1) You may substitute 3 cups of veggie broth and omit the water and vegan bouillon cubes. 2) If you are not concerned about calories or fat content, canned full fat coconut milk makes a wonderful substitute for the almond milk in this recipe (I do not recommend rice milk because it is too thin). 3) For a smaller slow cooker, you may half this recipe.
