Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups corn fresh, frozen, or canned
  • 3 medium Yukon gold potatoes, diced
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 6 cups vegetable stock or water
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 8 oz Plant based cheddar cheese optional
  • 4 oz Plant-based parmesan cheese optional

Instructions
 

  1. Wash and chop your onion and bell pepper. Place the chopped veggies in a stock pot with the corn and saute for about 5 minutes with 1 tbsp olive oil.
  2. Add in 6 cups of vegetable broth or water and bring to a boil.
  3. While waiting for the broth to boil, wash, peel, and chop your potatoes.
  4. Once the soup is boiling, add the potatoes to the stock pot with the remaining spices. Let boil for 10 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender.
  5. Once the potatoes are thoroughly cooked, remove from heat. Add in the plant-based cheese if you are using and stir until melted.
  6. Use an immersion blender or potato masher to blend the soup to the desired consistency.
  7. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  1. If you do not have an immersion blender, carefully scoop 1-2 cups of soup into a traditional blender and return it to the pot. Repeat until desired consistency is achieved.
  2. Optional garnishes include chives, soup crackers, more vegan cheddar – whatever you like!
  3. Not Vegan? Use chicken or beef stock. Add real cheddar and parmesan cheese. Garnish with bacon or add rotisserie chicken to the soup.
  4. Oil-free? You can easily omit the oil in this recipe and sauté the veggies with a bit of water instead.
