Creamy Spiced Corn Chowder

Share

Soup season gets an elevated spin on the classic corn chowder in this creamy plant-based version that leaves out the dairy but not the flavor.

This dairy-free chowder can be as thick and creamy as you like, depending on how much of the soup you puree. Don’t forget to put the Salt-Free Hot Sauce on the table for those who want to add a little heat.

Ingredients

  • 1 1 yellow onion chopped
  • 2 ribs celery, chopped
  • 2 russet potatoes, diced
  • ¼ cup nutritional yeast
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp dried thyme
  • ¼ tsp black pepper ground

  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley minced
  • Salt-Free Hot Sauce to taste

Instructions

  • Heat 1/4 cup water in a large pot over medium heat.
  • Add the onion, celery, and potatoes. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until softened.

  • Stir the pureed mixture back into the soup. Add the lemon juice, then taste and adjust the seasonings, if needed.

  • Optional to serve with the hot sauce.
