Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

02

Step

Add the potatoes, cauliflower, bay leaves, thyme, and oregano. Stir to combine and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the spices to bloom and the vegetables to develop a deeper flavor.

03

Step

Pour in the vegetable broth and add 6 cups of the corn kernels. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 35-40 minutes. Remove and discard the bay leaves.

04

Step

While the soup simmers, prepare the cashew cream. In a high-speed blender, combine the remaining 2 cups of corn kernels, cashews, and nutritional yeast. Add a few ladles of the hot simmering broth to the blender. Be cautious when blending hot liquids, filling the blender no more than half full at a time and venting the lid to prevent pressure buildup.

05

Step

Blend until completely smooth and creamy, adding more broth as needed to achieve a velvety consistency. Carefully pour the cashew cream into the soup pot and stir to combine. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed.

06

Step

Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs, a swirl of vegan cream, or a sprinkle of chili flakes for a touch of heat.

For a richer flavor, roast the vegetables before adding them to the pot. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper and roast at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes.
If you don't have a high-speed blender, soak the cashews in hot water for at least 30 minutes to soften them before blending.
This chowder is even better the next day, as the flavors have time to meld together. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
For a gluten-free option, ensure your vegetable broth is certified gluten-free.
