Servings5 medium bowls
- 1 yellow onion
- 2 lbs. red potatoes (about 4-5 cups diced)
- 3-4 cloves garlic
- 3 cups sweet corn (frozen, fresh, or canned)
- 3 1/2 cups vegetable broth
- 2 cups almond milk* (plain & unsweetened)
- 2/3 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
- Salt/pepper to taste
Toppings (optional):
- Fresh chives or green onions
Dice onion. In a large stockpot over medium-high heat, sauté 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.
*Milk: Or substitute your own favorite plant milk. Soy or cashew would be great as well. Just be sure it's plain + unsweetened.
