How To Make: Vegan Chowder
To make this easy vegan corn chowder, you first want to start by heating oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Then, add your onion, garlic, celery, carrots, potatoes to cook, stirring constantly until onions are translucent and vegetables are tender (about 4-5 mins).
Next, season with salt and pepper. Add vegan butter and stir to melt. Stir in flour, and cook for 2 mins while stirring constantly. Add wine, stirring to lift any bits stuck to the bottom of the saucepan. Add your broth, corn kernels, thyme and bring to boil. Reduce heat to simmer, cover, and cook for 15 mins or until the potatoes are tender.
Afterward, add soy milk (or your plant-based milk of choice), and simmer for 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste and garnish with greens of choice! Serve with toasted bread and voila!

Trying to limit soy intake- do you think hemp milk would work well?
Hemp milk should be fine
I use unsweetened coconut milk and I love it. 😛 It’s so cozy and like a hug from the inside
How about in aCrock-Pot?
I’m sure it would be great in a crockpot! Let me know how it goes!
I have recently been transforming from pescatarian to plant based and need some new, quick and easy recipes. Found you through Kathleen Lights on YouTube. Love, love love your videos & recipes and plan to get your cookbook soon.
This vegetable chowder is amazing 👏🏼👏🏼💯
Wow I just made this – it’s so amazing! I made it a little bit spicy by doubling the black pepper. I also added extra salt as I found without the extra salt & pepper it was a bit plain. It’s super rich and creamy and the veggies are so robust! I doubled the recipe to feed my family of 8 this weekend, made more than enough!
This was delicious!! I ended up adding extra soy milk, some coconut cream and some paprika!
Very good. Thanks.
Oh man. I just reheated this from last night. Freshly made, it’s a 3. Reheated, a 5! So good. And I didn’t even add vegan cream cheese like I planned to. Thank you! Will definitely make again. A day ahead if possible.
This was good! I made it pretty much exactly as written, except I didn’t have thyme so I used marjoram. Also I blended half of it and stirred it back in to up the creaminess. When I make it again (and I will) I think I’ll start it earlier in the day or a day ahead and reheat it so the flavors are more developed. Also, a few scoops of tofutti or miyokos sour cream would make it really rich and creamy. My husband’s an omnivore and he liked it!
This is excellent! Thank you for this new staple recipe in our home 😊
I never ever had a vegan corn chowder before, and it’s been a LONG LONG LONG time since I’ve tasted the conventional recipe. This looks like such a winning recipe–I am even more delighted that there’s delicious bread to serve it with! Imagine pouring a hot scoop or two of this soup in a breadbowl. Sounds like a marvelous meal to me!
Tried this recipe and love it!
On a cold wintery day, a bowl of corn chowder, with potatoes, is wonderful. And, your recipe looks very very wonderful. I will be making this chowder very soon. Thank you so much for sharing it.
Could I add some thick noodles to this recipe and not use wine?
I’m sure you could add noodles to this recipe! In place of wine, I recommend using more broth.
Can’t wait to try this one!
