Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 4 cups corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned, drained)
• 2 cups baby gold potatoes, diced
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup coconut milk (canned, full-fat)
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 green onions, sliced

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion, garlic, and celery to the pot. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the diced red bell pepper and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the corn kernels and diced baby gold potatoes to the pot.

Step 5

Pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk, stirring to combine.

Step 6

Add the bay leaf, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to incorporate.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer uncovered for about 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 8

Remove the bay leaf from the pot.

Step 9

For a creamier texture, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup directly in the pot, or transfer about half of the soup to a blender, process until smooth, and return it to the pot.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if necessary.

Step 11

Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions.
