This Vegan Instant Pot Corn Chowder Soup is simple, healthy, and utterly divine. Make from frozen or fresh corn, this delicious, hearty meal is great for meal prep and makes for an easy, nourishing meal.
Ingredients
• 2 pounds (4 cups) frozen or fresh corn (+ 2 cups reserved for topping, optional)
• 1 pound Yukon gold potatoes, diced
• 1 medium sweet or white onion, diced
• 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
• 5 cups broth
• ½ tsp smoked paprika
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 14.5 oz can coconut milk
• ¼ cup nutritional yeast
Instructions
1. If your Instant Pot or pressure cooker has a saute function, saute your onions for about 4 minutes or until translucent. Add a splash of water every so often to keep it from sticking. Add the garlic and saute another minute, then hit ‘cancel.’
2. Add in your corn, potatoes, broth, smoked paprika, and the onion and garlic if you haven’t already. Give it a good stir, then bury the bay leaf . Close the lid and set the pressure valve to sealing. Cook on high pressure or hit pressure cook for 6 minutes.
3. After the timer goes off, release the pressure valve carefully with a wooden spoon and let the pressure release completely. If you have an Instant Pot, wait until the pressure button has clicked down . Open the lid carefully and set aside. Remove the bay leaf and discard.
4. Stir the soup, then stir in the nutritional yeast and coconut cream.
5. Using an immersion blender, blend up most of the soup. If you’d prefer to blend your soup smooth in a blender, you can, just be very careful when transferring it as the soup is incredibly hot.
6. Serve up your soup and, if desired, finish it off by adding the extra steamed corn, some crunchy tortilla strips and some cilantro or parsley!
7. Refrigerate leftover soup in an airtight container up to 5 days in a freezer-safe airtight container for up to 3 months.
