Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 jalapeño, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 4 cups Yukon gold potatoes, diced
  • 4 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels

Liquids and Oils

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 1/2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 (14-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk

Seasonings and Garnish

  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh chives, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Sauté vegetables: Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large pot. Add chopped onion, diced jalapeño, minced garlic, and diced red bell pepper. Sauté the vegetables until the onions become translucent and everything softens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Simmer potatoes: Pour in the vegetable broth and add the diced Yukon gold potatoes to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer until the potatoes are tender, approximately 10-15 minutes.
  3. Add corn and coconut milk: Stir in the fresh or frozen corn kernels and the full-fat coconut milk. Allow the soup to simmer together for an additional 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
  4. Blend soup: Remove about half of the soup and blend it until smooth, either using an immersion blender or a regular blender. Return the blended portion to the pot and mix well to create a creamy yet chunky texture.
  5. Season and serve: Season the chowder with salt and pepper to your taste. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped chives. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can adjust the level of heat by using more or less jalapeño or removing the seeds before dicing.
  • For a thicker chowder, blend more of the soup or add less vegetable broth.
  • This chowder keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be frozen for up to 1 month.
  • Use fresh corn in summer for the best flavor or frozen corn year-round as a convenient substitute.
  • To make the soup nut-free, ensure the coconut milk is pure and free from any cross-contamination.
