Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium (diced) Yellow onion
• 3 minced Garlic cloves
• 2 sliced Celery stalks
• 2 medium (diced) Carrots
• 3 medium (peeled and diced) Russet potatoes
• 2 cups Frozen corn kernels
• 4 cups Vegetable broth
• 2 cups Unsweetened almond or oat milk
• 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons (chopped, optional for garnish) Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it turns translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic, sliced celery, and diced carrots. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Add the diced potatoes, frozen corn, vegetable broth, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 6

Using an immersion blender, blend a portion of the soup directly in the pot to make the texture creamier. Alternatively, transfer 2-3 cups of the soup to a blender, blend until smooth, and return it to the pot.

Step 7

Stir in the unsweetened almond or oat milk and nutritional yeast. Simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Taste the chowder and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper to taste.

Step 9

Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy.
