This healthy fall vegan chowder contains ALL of the vegetables – cooked perfectly for a creamy and plant-based gluten free chowder that is the coziest bowl. It’s especially loaded with fall root veggies: potatoes, carrots, sweet potatoes, and onions. It also has some butternut squash in it – which we grew in our garden for the first time this year! We still have a few on the vine now ready to be picked, so I can’t wait to make this chowder and other vegan fall recipes soon!
This Autumn Vegetable Chowder Is:
- Hearty
- Flavorful
- Thick and creamy
- Slightly sweet
- Loaded with vegetables
- Vegan, gluten free, and dairy free
What’s In This Autumn Vegetable Chowder?
- Olive Oil: I like to use this delicious Zoe olive oil which has a fantastic flavor and deep color- it’s really inexpensive online here, so I keep a few liters stocked up in my pantry. For the quality of oil you get, it’s an excellent value, I would highly recommend!
- Potatoes: gives this dairy-free chowder a heartiness and creaminess
- Sweet potatoes: same as above, but with extra natural sweetness
- Corn: fall is corn harvesting season, and some farmer’s market would be perfect in this stew
- Onions
- Garlic: I use fresh garlic when I have it, and this great jarred organic garlic when I don’t have fresh. It’s actually super convenient to have pre-chopped garlic on hand for quick and easy meal prep.
- Butternut Squash: one of my absolutely favorite vegetables!
- Herbes de Provence: my favorite spice blend! This French blend has a mix of rosemary, thyme, sage, and savory for a wonderful and complex flavor.
- Coconut Milk: I use unsweetened full-fat coconut milk, which I’d definitely recommend over lite coconut milk. The flavor makes this dish super rich and creamy without any dairy.
- Tellicherry Black Pepper: Like the salt, it’s amazing the flavor difference you can get with really good tellicherry black pepper. This pepper is the same price is buying pre-ground, and has a million times more flavor! I use these really great tellicherry peppercorns, which I would definitely recommend.
- Pink Himalayan Sea Salt: I like to use a pink Himalayan Sea Salt in my kitchen, which has more natural minerals than plain processed table salt. It’s fairly inexpensive, so I’d recommend this salt if you’re looking for an easy way to level up your spice pantry.
