Recipes with Fresh or Frozen Corn
Getting really good corn in season is the key, so this is a great late summer recipe. It gives the soup a wonderful sweetness which pairs well with the creamy texture and the spice.
If it’s not fresh corn season, use frozen sweet corn instead. The creamed corn at the end is a little secret that gives this soup a light creaminess – but is still plant based. You can browse through all my recipes with corn here!
What’s In This Vegan Corn Chowder with Potatoes?
- Corn, Potatoes, Onions, Garlic, Bell Peppers, Carrots, Jalapeno Peppers – I stock up on organic produce with Misfits Market – they have a fantastic selection of in-season fruits & veggies, healthy pantry items, and great food finds for a fraction of grocery store prices! You can get $10 off your first $30 box by clicking here!
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil: I like to use this fruity olive oil which has a fantastic flavor and deep color- it’s inexpensive & I like to keep a few liters stocked up in my pantry. For the quality of oil you get, it’s an excellent value.
- Cumin: also adds a really nice flavor to this recipe – cumin has a lightly smokey flavor found in a lot of soup and chili recipes
- 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.
- Low Sodium Vegetable Stock – I like to use this low sodium vegetable stock for my recipes because it has great flavor… without all the salt. I always use low sodium or no-salt-added broth or stock to start, and then I can add salt or other spices later if needed.
- Tellicherry Peppercorns: It’s amazing the flavor difference you can get with really good tellicherry black pepper. Amazon has a generic brand tellicherry peppercorn which is the same price is buying pre-ground, and will add way more flavor to your recipes.
