Instructions

In a large pot over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Add in the bell pepper, onion, carrots, and celery. Saute the veggies for 8-10 minutes or until the onion starts to turn translucent.

Add in the broth, potatoes, and thyme sprigs. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook, covered, for about 15 minutes or until the potatoes are just tender.

Add in the corn and zucchini and simmer, uncovered, for an additional 10 minutes. Remove the thyme sprigs.

Optional: transfer 2 cups of the mixture to a food processor or blender (or you can also use an immersion blender) and blend until creamy. Return to pot with remaining soup. You can also do this with an immersion blender like I did in the video.

Add in the coconut milk, salt and pepper, and stir. Top with fresh herbs and chives (optional) and ENJOY!!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Maximize Corn Flavor 🌽
Reserve 1 cup of corn kernels to add at the very end of cooking—this creates a pleasant texture contrast between creamy base and fresh, slightly sweet corn pieces.
Build Aromatic Foundation 🧅
Sauté your diced onion, celery, and carrots in olive oil for 4-5 minutes before adding broth to develop a rich, caramelized base that deepens the chowder's overall flavor profile.
Thicken Naturally with Potatoes 🥔
Cut golden potatoes into small dice and cook until they begin breaking down—their natural starch will thicken the chowder without requiring flour or cornstarch, creating a silkier vegan texture.
Infuse Coconut Milk Properly 🥥
Stir coconut milk in at the end and heat gently without boiling to prevent it from separating; this preserves its creamy richness while preventing a curdled appearance.
Finish with Fresh Thyme 🌿
Remove thyme sprigs before serving and add fresh thyme leaves in the last minute—this preserves their delicate aroma and prevents the chowder from tasting overly herbaceous or bitter.
