Silky, creamy, cheesy Vegan Corn Chowder with Potato! This is a family favorite recipe. I love the rich, savory flavors paired with the sweetness of the corn. Veganizing old comfort foods is so much fun and I find I enjoy them even more with healthier, fresh ingredients.
This chowder is just 8 simple ingredients and super easy assembly. (Which always makes for a great weeknight meal.) Either serve it as is, or blend half to create more of a creamy consistency and achieve that extra golden, cheesy broth. Truly hope you enjoy as much as we do!

Ingredients
- 1 onion

- 3 cups organic corn (frozen or fresh)

- 2/3 cup nutritional yeast (I use this brand)
- 1 1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
- Salt/pepper to taste
Toppings (optional)

Instructions
- Dice onion. In a large stockpot over medium-high heat, saute onion in 3 Tbsp. broth/water for about 7-8 minutes.

I'm going to make it this,weekend. Looks so yummy! Recipe says 4-6 servings. Is this 1/2 cup vs 1 cup? Any thoughts on doubling recipe and freezing part of it?
This is soooo delicious. I have made it twice since Dre did it on Foodie Friday!!!
YAY!! So awesome to hear that – thanks for the feedback 🙂 Have a great week! -Kaitlin
Just made it and blended half like suggested. It was so delicious. I absolutely enjoyed it.
Hi Lauren! So awesome to hear you gave it a try and enjoyed! Thanks so much for the sweet feedback. Wishing you a beautiful rest of the week! -Kaitlin
I ended up adding 1/2-1 tsp cayenne powder, 1/2 tsp turmeric and black pepper each, and some onion powder since I didn’t have onions for the soup itself. Turned out great! The cayenne gave it a nice spicy kick which I think I will use the broth for tortilla soup sometime!
Hey Andy! Apologies for my late response, but what fantastic additions!!! Sounds amazing! Appreciate you taking the time to share 🙂 Have a great week!
Was skeptical honestly but it turned out really good. Will definitely do again.
Haha, I totally get it. Glad you gave it a shot and enjoyed! 🙂

Oh my goodness- this was so delicious! I added some chopped kale because it is growing like mad in the garden right now. My husband loved this soup as well- even on a hot summers nigh. Thanks so much!
