Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 stalks celery stalks, chopped
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 3 cups potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 cups frozen or fresh corn kernels
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or other plant-based milk)
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent.
Stir in minced garlic, chopped celery, and diced carrots. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until vegetables are slightly softened.
Add diced potatoes, corn kernels, vegetable broth, smoked paprika, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Remove about 2 cups of the chowder and blend it using an immersion blender or a regular blender until smooth, then return the blended portion to the pot. This step helps create a creamy texture without using dairy.
Stir in the unsweetened almond milk and nutritional yeast. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat through and combine flavors.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
