Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 3 large garlic cloves, minced
- 2 medium celery stalks, diced
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 2 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 4 cups vegetable stock
- 3 cups fresh corn kernels (or frozen)
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons gluten-free flour
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, diced celery, and carrots. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the diced potatoes to the pot and mix well.
Sprinkle the gluten-free flour over the vegetables and stir to coat evenly.
Gradually pour in the vegetable stock while stirring to prevent any lumps.
Add the fresh or frozen corn kernels, bay leaf, salt, pepper, and thyme. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Remove the bay leaf and discard it.
Using an immersion blender, blend the soup slightly to thicken it while keeping some of the potato and corn pieces whole for texture.
Stir in the coconut milk and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Heat the chowder for another 5 minutes.
Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
