Out of Hand Sick Delicious Corn Chowder

You know that saying, Party in the Mouth? Welcome to the corn crammed, summer infused, super creamy awesome division of PITM central.

It's vegan, which makes it even better. And it has delicious cashew puree in it, like (srsly) half the stuff I've made over the last month. I'm really lucky I'm not allergic to that most delicate of tree nut. Who knows, tho - I keep eating 'em at this rate and I might be soon! When I fall in love, I fall hard.


You guys know the drill - you want to creamify a soup without dumping 1k worth of butterfat calories in the pot, you have several options:

Immersion blender - make sure your potato content is high for this technique
1 block silken tofu
Almond/Soy/Rice Milk

Done them all, multiple times in triplicate - and I wanted something new.

Of course, there was a huge pile of cashew puree waiting to become cheeze sitting in the fridge. And so, the creamiest chowder I've ever made vegan-style came about.


Pay close attention to the multiple blender steps for maximum smoothness!


Cream of Corn Chowder
makes 1 medium pot - or 4-6 bowls.

1 bag frozen corn OR 6 ears worth of freshly-boiled corn
4 tbl EarthBalance
1/2 red pepper
1/2 green pepper
1/2 poblano pepper
2 fresh jalapenos, minced
4 small white potatoes, diced medium-small (peels on for vitamin content!!)
1 red onion, chopped
10 cloves garlic, minced
2 ribs celery, diced
1 small calabaza squash or zucchini, triangled (halved, then sliced lengthwise into three triangle-shaped strips, then chopped)
4 small carrots, diced
6 cups vegetable or faux-chicken stock
1 cup cashew butter (or cheese a la this recipe - adding cashew cheese will lend a more sour-cream flavor - regular pureed cashews, just a sweet, nutty note)
1.5 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
Dash agave

To serve:

1 fresh tomato, diced fine
Minced cilantro and scallion
Chipotle hot sauce, to taste


Right. So.

Melt your EB in a large soup pot. Add  your onion, carrot, celery, peppers including jalapeno, and garlic. Saute over medium heat for 5-6 minutes, until onions are translucent.

Add your squash and potatoes. Add your corn now, if using fresh - hold off till the end, if using frozen. Cook 4 minutes or so, until squash has softened just a bit.

Add your stock and a little water if need to just reach the top of your veggies. Add pepper and agave. Cover and simmer 20 minutes, until potatoes are soft at center.

Grab your blender. With a ladle, spoon off as much liquid as possible from the soup. No biggie if you get some veggies in there - you're going to puree some of them next! Add your cashew butter, making sure the total volume in your blender does not exceed your maximum line. Blend for 6-8 minutes, adding a teeny bit of water if needed, until the soup is super super smooth. Pour back into the pot.

Now, ladle more of the soup back into your blender, paying careful attention to getting as many potatoes as possible (leave a few tho, yum!). Puree again until super smooth. Add the puree back to the pot. Taste for salt and adjust as needed.

If you're using frozen corn, add it to the stew now, and heat until cooked through.

Ladle, garnish, and serve! Perfect with toasty french bread and a simple salad with lemon dressing.


Bon Appetite!

  9. Wow, I can't wait to try this! Not vegan, but I love creamy soups and always struggle with how much butter/milk/fat they must contain. I can't wait to see how cashew butter works in, and I love how summer fresh this looks.

  25. Buying YouTube subscribers is a strategic move employed by many aspiring content creators to quickly gain traction on the platform. This method offers an instant boost to your subscriber count, making your channel appear more popular and attractive to potential organic subscribers. It's not just about numbers, it's also about perceived credibility. A higher subscriber count tends to instill trust in viewers, thereby increasing the chances of them hitting the subscribe button. However, it is crucial to remember that buying subscribers is only a temporary solution and sustained growth depends primarily on consistently delivering quality content.

  31. Buying Google reviews cheaply in India is an ill-advised shortcut where businesses attempt to improve their online perception through fabricated endorsements. Such reviews are often outsourced to vendors who mass-produce them at a low cost, undermining trust in India's online marketplace. While the initial outlay may be small, the ethical and legal risks are significant, potentially leading to Google-imposed sanctions and lost consumer confidence. This malpractice not only breaches Google’s guidelines but also damages the ecosystem of genuine customer feedback. Responsible businesses focus on earning authentic reviews through quality service, ensuring sustainable growth and credibility in the digital economy.
