Ingredients
3 servings
2 Tbspolive oil
1 cupwhite onion
large, chopped, 1/2 onion yields
2cloves garlic
minced
4red potatoes
small, quartered peeling, optional
sea salt
ground black pepper
3 earscorn
kernels sliced off
2 cupslow sodium veggie broth
diy or store - bought
2 cupsunsweetened plain almond milk
or regular milk if not vegan
2 stalksgreen onions
for garnish, chopped
1 Tbspnutritional yeast
for a cheesy flavor, optional
Instructions
Step 1
To a large saucepan over medium heat, add olive oil, onion, and garlic and sauté for 3-4 minutes.
Step 2
Add potato, season with a little salt and pepper, and cover to steam for 4-5 minutes.
Step 3
Add most of the corn, reserving a little for garnish, and stir.
Step 4
NOTE: If you plan to blend the soup, I recommend (as suggested above) adding half broth, half milk for a creamier texture. But if you intend to leave it unblended, forgo the milk and do all vegetable broth (4 cups | 960 ml // adjust amount if altering the default number of servings) for best texture/flavor.
Step 5
Add broth and almond milk (if using), cover, and bring to a low boil. Reduce heat to low. Cook until the potatoes are soft and slide off of a knife when pierced – about 5-10 minutes.
Step 6
If blending, add 3/4 of the soup to a blender and blend until creamy and smooth. If using nutritional yeast, add now.
Step 7
Transfer soup back to the saucepan and bring back to a simmer. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Cook for at least 10 minutes to let thicken. The longer it simmers, the more flavorful it will be.
Step 8
To serve, top with chopped green onion, remaining fresh (or lightly sauteed) corn, and black pepper. Add a sprinkle of paprika for color.
Step 9
1 russet potato can be subbed for the 4 small red potatoes.
* 1.5 cans corn can be subbed for the 3 ears fresh corn.
*Nutrition information is a rough estimate calculated using half almond milk, half vegetable broth.
