Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 tbsp | Olive Oil |
| 2 | Yellow Onions |
| 1 1/2 | Celery Stalks |
| 1/2 | Carrot |
| 3/4 | Yellow Bell Peppers |
| 4 | Green Bell Peppers |
| 1/4 | Potatoes |
| 8 cups | Water |
| 2 tsp | Ground Sage |
| 3 tbsp | Light Miso |
| 3 cups | Vegetable Broth |
| 3 cups | Corn Kernels |
| 3 stalks | Green Onions |
Instructions:
-
Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat.
-
Add chopped yellow onions, celery, carrot, and bell peppers to the pot. Saute until the vegetables begin to soften, releasing their enticing aroma.
-
Incorporate the potatoes into the mix along with the ground sage. Stir well, ensuring that the flavors meld harmoniously, and saute for an additional 3 minutes.
-
Pour water into the pot and bring it to a gentle boil. Once boiling, cover the pot and let the ingredients simmer over medium-low heat for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender yet retain their shape and texture.
-
Remove 1/2 cup of the liquid from the pot and dissolve the light miso in it, creating a rich and flavorful miso mixture. (Skip this step if you’re using vegetable broth instead.)
-
Add the miso mixture or vegetable broth to the soup, ensuring that it’s evenly distributed throughout. Stir well to combine all the ingredients into a harmonious blend.
-
Allow the soup to simmer for an additional minute, stirring continuously to prevent any sticking or burning.
-
Transfer one-third of the soup along with plenty of veggies to a separate bowl and set it aside for later.
-
Using a blender, carefully blend the remaining soup until it reaches a smooth and velvety consistency, a visual feast for the eyes and the palate.
-
Return the reserved soup to the pot, along with the corn kernels and chopped green onions. Stir gently to incorporate all the ingredients, infusing the soup with bursts of color and flavor.
-
Bring the soup to a low boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent any scorching or sticking to the bottom of the pot.
-
Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer gently for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to mingle and intensify, while ensuring that the soup maintains its perfect consistency.
-
Serve this scrumptious corn chowder piping hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a dollop of vegan sour cream, if desired. πΏβ¨
