Smoky Corn Chowder
Smoky Corn Chowder
The smoky flavor pairs so well with the sweetness of the corn. This may become your favorite meal!
Ingredients
- 1 tsp sunflower oil (I used olive oil)
- 2 shallots, diced
- 1 clove garlic, minced (I used 3 cloves because I love garlic)
- 4 cups fresh corn kernels (or frozen thawed corn)
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 T liquid aminos (or coconut aminos)
- 1 tsp liquid smoke
- 3/4 tsp smoked paprika (plus more for garnish)
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup unsweetened non dairy milk
- 2 cups packed baby spinach
- 2 T chiffonade cut fresh basil, plus more for garnish
- 4 sourdough bread bowls (I omitted these)
- 1/2 tsp sea salt, or to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp sunflower oil (I used olive oil)
- 2 shallots, diced
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- 4 cups fresh corn kernels (or thawed frozen corn)
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 T liquid aminos (or coconut aminos)
- 1 tsp liquid smoke
- 3/4 tsp smoked paprika, plus more for garnish
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup non-dairy milk of choice
- 2 cups packed baby spinach
- 2 T chiffonade cut fresh basil, plus more for garnish
- 1/2 tsp sea salt, or salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large pot over medium heat, heat the oil. Add the shallots and garlic to the pot and saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the corn kernels, nutritional yeast, liquid aminos, liquid smoke, smoked paprika, and onion powder to the pot and stir until combined.
- Add the vegetable broth and non dairy milk to the mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce to medium-low heat and carefully use an immersion blender to puree about half the corn kernels. You want it to be slightly chunky.
- Cover the pot and bring the soup to a simmer, and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Fold the spinach and basil into the soup and cook for another 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 300. Cut the tops off the sourdough loaves and remove the bread from the center, leaving roughly 1 inch-thick wall on all sides. Toast the loaves until slightly golden.
- Season the soup with salt and pepper and divide into the bread bowls. Or skip the bread bowls and serve in regular dishes like I did.
- In a large pot, over medium heat, heat the oil. Add the shallots and garlic to the pot and saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the corn kernels, nutritional yeast, liquid aminos, liquid smoke, smoked paprika, and onion powder to the pot and stir until combined.
- Add the vegetable broth and non-dairy milk to the corn mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and carefully use an immersion blender to puree about half the corn kernels (so it remains slightly chunky).
- Cover the pot, bring the soup to a simmer, and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Fold the spinach and basil into the soup and cook for another 5 minutes.
- Season the soup with salt and pepper and divide into bowls to serve. Garnish with a spinkle of smoked paprika and chiffonade cut basil and serve immediately.
