Bowl of vegan corn chowder

Hello 2019! The holidays are over and here we all are, full of resolve and resolutions to be a our best selves.

If one of your resolutions was to eat more plant-based foods – perhaps you are taking part in Veganuary – then this vegan soup will tick a lot of boxes.

  • It is the perfect comfort food to get you through the winter months
  • Vegan and gluten free
  • Perfect for Instant Pot newbies
  • Just a handful of pantry-staple ingredients
  • Kid-friendly

I made batches and batches of this corn chowder in December to keep me going through mountains of work. It is such a great soup for when you are feeling like you are fighting off – or recovering from – a cold.

This chowder is creamy and satisfying despite the absence any dairy – I use oat or almond milk in place of cream. To make the soup even thicker, you could blend some and mix it with the rest of the soup.

Some plant-based ‘milks’ have a tendency to split – in this case a little arrowroot or cornstarch slurry will stabilise them.

Vegan corn chowder ingredients

  • Olive oil
  • Onions or shallots
  • Garlic and garlic powder
  • Celery
  • carrots
  • Potatoes or sweet potatoes – I prefer potatoes such as Maris Piper in this
  • Vegetable broth (I use a gluten free bouillon powder)
  • Fresh, frozen or tinned corn
  • Almond or oat milk (you can even find oat cream these days)
  • Arrowroot or cornstarch powder diluted in a little cold water
  • Pinch smoked paprika or red pepper flakes
  • Parsley or chives to garnish

Vegan corn chowder made in the Instant Pot

How to make vegan corn chowder in your instant pot

Step 1. Heat the oil in your Instant Pot using the Sauté function. Add the onion and celery and cook, stirring, for 4 minutes. Add the garlic and stir for another minute.

Step 2. Add the corn, potatoes, garlic powder, seasonings and stock and cook on high pressure for 8 minutes.

Step 3. Manually release the steam by switching the pressure valve to the venting position. Take care as the steam is hot!

Step 4. Switch back to the Sauté function and stir in the almond milk and arrowroot. Let it heat through for 2-3 minutes.

Step 5. If you like your soup really thick, then transfer half into blender or food processor and blend until liquidised. Stir into the rest of the soup and serve garnished with chopped parsley or chives.

How to make vegan corn chowder on the stove

Step 1. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan. Add the onion and celery and cook over medium high heat, stirring, for 4 minutes. Add the garlic and stir for another minute.

Step 2. Add the potatoes, corn and garlic powder and stir to combine. Pour in the vegetable stock and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 15 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender.

Step 4. Stir in the almond milk and arrowroot slurry. Bring to a simmer for 2-3 minutes until heated through.

Step 5. If you prefer your soup really thick, transfer half into a blender or food processor and blend until liquidised. You can also use an immersion blender. Stir into the rest of the soup, taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve hot garnished with chopped parsley or chives.

    This sounds delicious! One thing though, how could I keep it vegan and add protein?

      You could add some white beans if you want to up the protein
