Happy Monday everyone! I hope you had a great weekend and got enough time to recharge for the week ahead of us. Chris and I spent the weekend developing recipes, and yesterday we had a nice raw vegan meal with some friends by the beach. It was definitely a much-needed break and refresher, and we are back today to bring to you, of course, a brand new vegan recipe!

This Smoky Corn Chowder is easy to make, bursting with flavor, and the perfect cozy meal. Not only that,ย but it requires only simple ingredients and can be ready in under an hour!

An easy vegan Smoky Corn Chowder Bread Bowl! {healthy & oil-free} sweetsimplevegan.comToday’s recipe is from our friend Jackie aka Vegan Yack Attack aka an OG vegan blogger that was a huge source of inspiration to us when Sweet Simple Vegan began. I would say she is a wizard in the kitchen, and sheย recently published her very own cookbook, Vegan Bowl Attack! It contains more than 100 one-dish plant-based meals, and the Smoky Corn Chowder Bread Bowls we’re sharing with ya’ll today is from it!

This Smoky Corn Chowder is one of a kind. Seriously. Not only were we surprised by how simple this flavorful dish was, but also by how easy it was to prepare! To be honest, the hardest part for us was cutting the bread into bowls, and I still don’t think I really got it down… ๐Ÿ˜›


PLUS we are giving two of you the chance to win your very own copy of her book! This giveaway is open to residents of the US and the winner will be announced on Monday, October 16th!

This giveaway is now closed. Congratulations to Kellie R. and Taylor R., youย are the winners!

Description

This Smoky Corn Chowder is easy to make, bursting with flavor, and the perfect cozy meal. Not only that,ย but it requires only simple ingredients and can be ready in under an hour!


Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 2 shallots, diced
  • 1 clove of garlic, minced
  • 4 cups (616 g) fresh corn kernels (or thawed frozen corn)
  • ยผ cup (15 g) nutritional yeast
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) liquid aminos
  • 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
  • ยพ teaspoon smoked paprika, plus more for garnish
  • ยฝ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1ยฝ cups (355 ml) vegetable broth
  • 1 cup (235 ml) unsweetened, nut-free nondairy milk
  • 2 cups (60 g) packed baby spinach
  • 2 tablespoons (5 g) chiffonade-cut fresh basil, plus more for garnish
  • 4 sourdough bread bowls (8 ounces, or 225 g, each)
  • ยฝ teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large pot over medium heat, add 3 tablespoons of water. Add the shallots and garlic to the pot and sautรฉ 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.
  2. Add the vegetable broth and nondairy milk to the corn mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and carefully use an immersion blender to purรฉe about half of the corn kernels (so it remains slightly chunky).*
  3. 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. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 300ยฐF (150ยฐC, or gas mark 2). Cut the tops out of the bread bowl loaves and cut the bread
    out of the center, leaving a roughly 1-inch (2.5 cm) thick wall on all sides. Toast the loaves until lightly golden, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste and divide it among the bread bowls. Garnish with a sprinkle of smoked paprika and chiffonade-cut basil and serve immediately.

Notes

  • The original recipe uses 1 teaspoon of sunflower oil to saute with, but we opted for water and it worked just fine.
  • If you do not have an immersion blender, you can transfer half of the soup to a blender in small batches and carefully purรฉe it with a towel over the top instead of the lid (or else you run the risk of it exploding everywhere).

  1. Great recipe! I tried it yesterday and really enjoyed it. Quite simple ingredients, but yet so tasty and flavourful.






  2. Mm, I love making corn chowder with fresh corn off the cob in the summer! This bowl looks amazing, and I want that cookbook! ๐Ÿ™‚






  3. Hi Jasmine,

    this food blog is adorable!
    I have a question concerning the recipe. Usually my english is adequate enough to understand recipes even though the measuring system is so different (cups instead of grams). But what is meant by liquid smoke? I mean what kind of food is that?
    I want to try this one badly, because what’s not to love about bread and corn goodness ๐Ÿ™‚

    1. Hi Cassy! Liquid smoke is an ingredient used for flavoring– it adds a smoky feel without having to actually smoke the food.
      You can check out the one we use here on Amazon!

  4. Thanks for reminding me about this recipe! It’s so good! I will definitely be making it again soon.
