If you’ve ever craved a warm, comforting bowl of chowder without the seafood, this Vegetarian Corn Chowder is the perfect solution.

Recipe Instructions:
- Begin by peeling and dicing the potatoes, ensuring uniform pieces for even cooking.
- In a large pot, combine the diced potatoes, water, and chopped onion. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer the potatoes until they are tender, which typically takes about 8 to 10 minutes. Keep an eye on them to prevent overcooking.
- Once the potatoes are tender, stir in the kernel corn, evaporated milk, butter, margarine, salt, and pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer uncovered for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the soup to thicken slightly.
- After simmering, give the chowder a final stir, ensuring that all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Serve the Vegetarian Corn Chowder hot, accompanied by crusty bread or your favorite meat alternative if you’re vegetarian. It pairs perfectly with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
Cook’s Tips:
- For added flavor, consider incorporating herbs such as thyme or parsley into the chowder during the simmering process.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to partially puree the chowder before serving. This will create a creamier consistency while still maintaining some texture from the potatoes and corn.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Simply reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave before serving.
