Categories     Soup or stew

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
8 ears of fresh sweet corn, shucked (or 6 cups frozen corn kernels)
1 pound red potatoes, cut into 3/4" cubes (about 3 cups)
1 large red onion, chopped
1 poblano pepper (optional)*, seeds and ribs removed, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
2 celery ribs, chopped
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided, to taste
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
2 medium cloves garlic, pressed or minced
4 cups (32 ounces) vegetable broth
2 cups water
1 bay leaf
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1/4 cup crème fraîche or sour cream or Greek yogurt**
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Suggested garnishes: Grated sharp cheddar cheese, thinly sliced green onion, additional cilantro leaves and/or a tiny pinch of chili powder

Steps:

  • In a medium/large Dutch oven or soup pot, warm the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the corn, potatoes, onion, poblano, bell pepper, celery, ½ teaspoon of the salt, and ½ teaspoon chili powder. Stir to combine. Cook until the onions are tender and translucent, about 7 to 10 minutes, stirring every couple of minutes.
  • Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute, while stirring constantly. Add the broth and water and stir to combine. Drop in the bay leaf.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer. Simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. It's not done until the potatoes are fully cooked through and very easily pierced through with a fork.
  • Remove the pot from the heat. Using kitchen tongs, remove the bay leaf. Carefully transfer about 3 cups of the soup (about half liquid, half solids) to a blender. Securely fasten the lid and be careful to avoid the hot steam as you blend until completely smooth. Add the butter and blend again.
  • Pour the mixture back into the pot. Add the cilantro, crème fraîche (see note if using sour cream or Greek yogurt) and lime juice. Stir to combine. Season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and be generous with the black pepper, to taste. If you'd like more spice, add up to 1/2 teaspoon more chili powder, to taste.
  • Divide the chowder into bowls and top with garnishes of your choice. Leftover chowder will keep well in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 5 days or for several months frozen.

VEGAN CORN & VEGETABLE CHOWDER



Vegan Corn & Vegetable Chowder image

The recipe can be altered concerning how much of certain vegetables are used. A lower fat version would probably call for oat or soy milk instead of cream, but the thickness gives it the chowder appeal. The cheese you use also changes the flavour noticably. Shopping for all these ingredients I discovered that most vegtable stocks aren't vegan. I made this as part of a birthday dinner for my vegan boyfriend and he claims it's very tasty.

Tips:

  • Use fresh vegetables. Fresh vegetables will give your chowder the best flavor. If you can't find fresh vegetables, frozen vegetables will work in a pinch.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot. If you overcrowd the pot, the vegetables won't cook evenly. Cook the vegetables in batches if necessary.
  • Season the chowder to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a touch of cayenne pepper for a little spice.
  • Let the chowder simmer. Simmering the chowder will help the flavors to meld together. Simmer the chowder for at least 30 minutes, or longer if you have time.
  • Serve the chowder hot. Vegetable and corn chowder is best served hot. You can garnish the chowder with fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives.

Conclusion:

Vegetable and corn chowder is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold day. It is packed with vegetables and corn, and it is full of flavor. This chowder is also a good source of vitamins and minerals. So next time you're looking for a hearty and healthy soup, give vegetable and corn chowder a try.
