Day 323.

Vegan corn chowder is a delightful dish. Carrots, potatoes and creamy vegan milk make this dish a winter delight. Today turned into a clean out the crisper kind of day. Based on the CSA box carrots, bell pepper, potatoes and corn on the cob in the crisper, I decided to make the corn chowder.

I’ve only had corn chowder a couple of times (primarily because the stuff in restaurants is almost always filled with chunks of ham or chicken broth), but I absolutely love it.

Once I decided to make corn chowder, I sought out my happy slow cooker guide, Stephanie O’Dea’s Make It Fast, Cook It Slow cookbook. She had a recipe for slow cooker corn chowder using frozen fire-roasted corn (which sounds fantastic).

I’ve loosely based this recipe off of a veganized version of Stephanie’s recipe. She’s my crockpot hero.

Slow Cooker Vegan Corn Chowder

Adapted from Slow Cooker Corn Chowder 

Ingredients

olive oil

1 onion, diced

4 medium carrots, diced (about 1.5 cups)

2 ears corn, cut off the cob (about 2 cups)

1 bell pepper, diced

2 large potatoes (about 1 pound), diced

4 cups Easy Slow Cooker Vegetable Broth

2 cups coconut milk or milk

croutons (optional)

Method

Place a bit of olive oil in a 4-quart crock and swish it around.

Add remaining ingredients, except milk and croutons, and cook on LOW for 8-9 hours.

Blend the soup with an immersion blender.

Add milk and cook on HIGH for 30 minutes.

Stir, season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve.

Top with croutons, if desired.

Instant Pot Method

Place all ingredients except milk in instant pot and cook on high pressure and cook for 30 minutes.

Blend.

Return to instant pot and add coconut milk.

Cook on saute mode for 15 minutes or until heated through.

Season to taste. 

Top with croutons, if desired.

The Results

This was a delight. It’s incredibly light and simple and the taste of the fresh corn really shines. The adults added a dash of red pepper flakes to our soup, but the kids ate it as-is.
