Best Creamy Vegan Corn Chowder Recipes

CREAMY VEGAN CORN CHOWDER

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in onions and celery; cook until just slightly golden. Stir in carrots and garlic; cook until garlic is slightly golden.
• Meanwhile, bring water to a boil over high heat. Stir in bouillon, and reduce heat to medium. When bouillon cubes have dissolved, add corn and the vegetables from the skillet. Cook until vegetables are tender. Add water, if necessary. Reduce heat to low, and pour in 1 cup soy milk. Stir soup well, then stir in remaining 1 cup soy milk. Quickly whisk in flour. Stir in parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until chowder thickens, about 15 to 20 minutes.

RICH & CREAMY VEGAN CORN CHOWDER

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.

CREAMY VEGAN SWEET POTATO AND CORN CHOWDER

Steps:

• Place sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain potatoes and reserve 2 1/2 cups of potato water. Chop 2 sweet potatoes and Yukon Gold potato when cool enough to handle; reserve remaining sweet potato for a later step.
• Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat; cook and stir celery and sweet onion in the hot oil until onion begins to brown, about 10 minutes. Stir 1 chopped sweet potato, chopped Yukon Gold potato, and garlic into mixture. Cook and stir until garlic begins to turn golden, about 8 minutes. Stir corn and 1 chopped sweet potato into onion and celery mixture. Cover pot and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Pour reserved 2 1/2 cups drained potato cooking water into mixture. Place remaining sweet potato and ginger into a food processor and pulse several times to chop; puree and stir into vegetables. Stir soy milk, vegetable broth, parsley, rosemary, sea salt, black pepper, and bay leaf into mixture and bring soup to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer 5 minutes.
• Whisk flour into soup, stir until thickened, and remove soup from heat.

VEGAN CREAMY CORN CHOWDER

Steps:

• Add 1 teaspoon of salt to a large pot of water and bring to a boil. Add yam. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Spread carrots onto a baking sheet and drizzle with avocado oil. Season with rosemary and a pinch of salt.
• Bake in the preheated oven until carrots are tender when poked with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Combine stock, coconut milk, and vegan butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in remaining salt, celery flakes, turmeric, and black pepper and slowly bring soup to a boil, about 5 minutes.
• Combine quinoa flour and onion powder in a bowl. Slowly whisk about 1/4 cup hot soup into quinoa mixture to form a loose batter. Slowly whisk batter into the soup. Reduce heat to low; let soup simmer but not boil, about 5 minutes.
• Add cooked yam and carrots to soup. Stir in corn kernels and paprika. Continue cooking over low heat until heated through, about 10 minutes more. Season with salt.

SUNRABBIT'S VEGAN CREAMY CORN CHOWDER

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.
