📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

2. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it turns translucent.

3. Stir in the minced garlic, sliced celery, and diced carrots. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. Add the diced potatoes, frozen corn, vegetable broth, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine.

5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

6. Using an immersion blender, blend a portion of the soup directly in the pot to make the texture creamier. Alternatively, transfer 2-3 cups of the soup to a blender, blend until smooth, and return it to the pot.

7. Stir in the unsweetened almond or oat milk and nutritional yeast. Simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

8. Taste the chowder and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper to taste.

9. Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy.
