Easy Chipotle Corn Chowder (Vegan)

Print

By

Okay, I know I have been going a little overboard with the soups lately but I can’t help myself. I am the soup queen! Yes, I’ve given myself this title. Soup is honestly incredible and this Easy Chipotle Corn Chowder doesn’t fall short. The chipotle flavor in it is what ups the game. It’s easy to make, dairy-free but creamy, and loaded with flavor.

You can whip up this creamy vegan corn chowder in 45 minutes! The thing about soup that people don’t tell you is that if it’s made in less than 30 minutes than it likely didn’t get that marriage of flavors that is so key to an amazing, flavorful soup. So 45 minutes is key to taking this soup (or any soup) to the next level. Pop the lid on, simmer, and let those ingredients do their thing.

Be patient when cooking down the onions and garlic, you want to build as much flavor as possible here. Also, use fresh corn if you can, this will be helpful in achieving that buttery, starchy flavor.

Imagine all your childhood dreams in a cream of corn or corn chowder soup but turned up for adults, but it’s still perfect for kids, so don’t get it twisted! This comforting bowl of goodness is loaded with vegetables and vegan sausage to really fill you up, but also give you that hardiness you crave with a soup.

Further Food Nutritionist Commentary:

Nutritional yeast is a great dairy-free and vegan alternative for cheese. It has that same nutty, cheesy, and savory flavor. Nutritional yeast comes in the form of powder or flakes. Plus, it's an excellent source of B12 and many other vitamins and minerals.
