This healthy Corn & Potato Chowder has the most luxurious golden, cheesy broth! Only 8 ingredients and easy assembly makes it a perfect, cozy weeknight meal. (Vegan, gluten-free, oil-free)
Silky, creamy, cheesy, smoky Vegan Corn & Potato Chowder! This is one of our family’s favorite recipes. I LOVE the balance of the rich, savory flavors paired with the subtle sweetness of the corn. I always have fun veganizing old comfort food favorites (and I find I enjoy them even more with healthier, fresh ingredients.) 💛
Either serve it as is, or blend half to create more of a creamy consistency (and achieve that extra golden, cheesy broth… yum!) With only 8 simple ingredients and super easy assembly, it always makes a great weeknight meal. Hope you enjoy as much as we do!

Vegan, gluten-free, oil-free
Serves about 4-6
Ingredients
1 onion
8-10 small red potatoes (about 2 lbs. or 4-5 cups diced)
3-4 cloves garlic
3 cups organic corn (frozen or fresh)
3 1/2 cups vegetable broth
2 cups plain almond milk, unsweetened
2/3 cup nutritional yeast (I use this brand)
1 1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
Salt/pepper to taste
Optional: fresh chives or green onions for garnish
Directions
Dice onion. In a large stockpot over medium-high heat, saute onion in 3 Tbsp. broth/water for about 7-8 minutes.
Meanwhile, mince garlic and cut potatoes into about 3/4″ chunks.
Add potatoes and smoked paprika to pot. Cook 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Add broth, milk, corn, and nutritional yeast. Increase heat and bring to a light boil.
Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
Salt/pepper to taste, and add more nutritional yeast if desired.
Leave as is, or blend some for a creamier texture. (I like to blend about half with an immersion blender.)
Garnish with fresh chives, green onion, etc. if desired.

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!!!

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!
Was skeptical honestly but it turned out really good. Will definitely do again.
