Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 8 slices Vegan bacon
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 3 Garlic cloves
• 2 Celery stalks
• 4 cups Corn kernels
• 2 medium Russet potatoes
• 4 cups Vegetable broth
• 1 can Coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
• 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat. Add vegan bacon and cook until crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove from pot and set aside.

Step 2

In the same pot, add the diced onion, minced garlic, and chopped celery. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the corn kernels, peeled and diced potatoes, and vegetable broth. Stir well and bring to a boil.

Step 4

Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 5

Stir in the coconut milk, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and fresh thyme. Let the soup heat through for another 5 minutes.

Step 6

Use an immersion blender to partially blend the chowder, leaving some chunks of potato and corn for texture. Alternatively, transfer half of the chowder to a blender, blend until smooth, and then return it to the pot.

Step 7

Chop the cooked vegan bacon into small pieces and add it back to the pot, reserving a little for topping.

Step 8

Add lime juice and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 9

Serve hot, garnished with reserved vegan bacon and chopped parsley.
