Non-Dairy Vegan Potato Corn Chowder

"This is a tasty chowder eaten hot or reheated. The corn can be fresh, frozen or canned. I'll often in the winter make a big pot and eat it for days. Low fat and very healthy."

directions

  • Put the potatoes and water into a 3 quart saucepan. Bring the water to a boil.
  • Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, heat the oil in a small skillet. When the oil is hot, add the onion, celery, carrot, bell pepper and thyme or oregano. Stir and cook till vegetables or tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Remove skillet from heat and put on the side.
  • When the potatoes are done, remove the pan from the heat. Using a slotted spoon, transfer about 1 1/2 cups of potatoes to the blender. Add enough soymilk (or other non-dairy milk) to make a smooth mixture. I use only about a half cup or less, usually.
  • Add the potato mixture back into the saucepan. Add the corn and the cooked vegetables.
  • Heat the chowder on medium heat for about 5-10 minutes.

  2. I will definitely make this again and again, it's so tasty and filling!!!
     
  3. This is just a beautiful chowder; colorful and easy to make. My red pepper was on the large side but I used the entire half anyway, and used up 1/4 of a leftover onion along with 1/4 of a large onion, 5 baby carrots for the medium carrot, and the rest of the veggies and other ingreds exactly as indicated. I decided to use dried Thyme. When sauteeing the veggies, I did add 1/2 tsp jarred minced gariic during the last few mins of cooking. My diced potatoes took 15 mins covered on low to get super soft and I didn't precisely measure the potato I put into the blender, but put in 3 slotted spoonfuls. I used exactly 1/4 cup soy milk (Organic Edensoy Light) and pureed for about a minute. My carrots were crisp-tender after 7 mins, which was fine with me and so were the onions (the celery and red pepper were closer to tender b/c they were smaller pieces). I used an 8.75oz. can of drained corn and a generous dash of black pepper, but didn't add any salt. I thought this was very tasty and successful for my first-ever potato corn chowder. It turned out really well. Using my Nicer Dicer made the prep faster. I served this with toasted buttered french bread slices. My bf had parmesan cheese on his toast. This is a very flavorful chowder that is thick, colorful, simple, and comforting. My bf, who has never had potato corn chowder before said this was pretty good. If everyone sticks to 1 bowl each, this would feed about 4 people as the recipe indicates. Made for My-3-Chefs June 2008, for my theme Non-Dairy. Thanks for sharing PdxBarb; I will make this again for sure!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in beautiful Portland Oregon with my partner. I try to live frugally and eat healthy. I cook a lot and bake a lot. Over the last 2-3 years I've read a lot on diet, nutrition, healthy eating and healthy living. I've slowly changed over to non-toxic hand soap, toothpaste, and cleaning supplies. I also don't buy things with high fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners or colors or any type of MSG. We eat mostly whole wheat breads and no cookies or donuts. I gave up drinking diet anything and colas of all sorts on May 25, 2006. I have two current favorite cookbooks. One is called "Vegan with a Vengeance" by Isa Chandra Moskowitz and the other is "Table for Two" by Joanne Stepaniak. From VwaV I found a great way to make brussels sprouts, which before I could never stand. Also pizza sauce, a great pizza dough, a chickpea broccoli casserole and wonderful peanut butter oatmeal cookies. From Table for Two, I got the 1000 island dressing recipe I use for salad dressing. Also a non dairy potato corn chowder.
