Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 8 slices Vegan bacon
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 2 Celery stalks
- 4 cups Corn kernels
- 2 medium Russet potatoes
- 4 cups Vegetable broth
- 1 can Coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
Instructions
In a large pot, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat. Add vegan bacon and cook until crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove from pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion, minced garlic, and chopped celery. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the corn kernels, peeled and diced potatoes, and vegetable broth. Stir well and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
Stir in the coconut milk, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and fresh thyme. Let the soup heat through for another 5 minutes.
Use an immersion blender to partially blend the chowder, leaving some chunks of potato and corn for texture. Alternatively, transfer half of the chowder to a blender, blend until smooth, and then return it to the pot.
Chop the cooked vegan bacon into small pieces and add it back to the pot, reserving a little for topping.
Add lime juice and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve hot, garnished with reserved vegan bacon and chopped parsley.
