The ingredients
The main ingredients
Corn: One of the best things about this recipe is that you can use frozen corn, making this dish easy to throw together at any time of year. You can definitely use fresh corn sliced off the cob as well, just adjust the amount of vegetable broth you add.
Coconut Milk: This adds a creamy consistency to the chowder.
Potatoes: Cubed potatoes provide some extra substance.
Parsley: Add a fresh taste to the dish
Cider vinegar: Cider vinegar is a traditional ingredient found in many types of chowder, and though it may seem like an odd addition, it brings just enough acidity to enhance the other flavors in the dish.
Red pepper: The red pepper adds a pop of color to an otherwise monocratic dish
The preparation
Start by sautéing your veggies, adding the corn last. You just want to soften them up a bit, not sear them. Simmer your ingredients together in the vegetable broth and coconut milk for fifteen minutes, or until your potatoes are tender. I always adjust the seasoning at the end, because the potatoes tend to absorb a lot of the salt.
Served with rice or quinoa this dish is hearty and satisfying. I’m confident that this dish will become a favorite of yours as well.
