Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, diced yellow onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 2 chopped celery stalks
• 1 medium, peeled and diced carrot
• 3 medium, peeled and cut into small cubes golden potatoes
• 4 cups (fresh or frozen) corn kernels
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1.5 cups unsweetened coconut milk
• 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
• 0.5 teaspoons (or to taste) 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 translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic, celery, and carrot. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Add the cubed potatoes, corn kernels, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 5

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 6

Using an immersion blender, blend a portion of the soup directly in the pot to achieve a creamy texture while leaving some chunks for added texture. Alternatively, transfer about 2 cups of the soup to a blender, blend until smooth, and return it to the pot.

Step 7

Stir in the coconut milk and nutritional yeast. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to combine flavors.

Step 8

Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper as needed.

Step 9

Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy!
