Why This Recipe Stands Out
This chowder is creamy and comforting without any dairy. The spicy kick adds excitement to each bite, making it perfect for chilly days or when you want something satisfying and flavorful.
Step 1
Start by sautéing the onion, bell pepper, and jalapeno in a couple of tablespoons of vegetable broth over medium heat until they’re soft and fragrant, about 5 to 7 minutes. Then, add the rest of the broth along with the potatoes and bring everything to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently for around 15 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
Step 2
Stir in the mustard, basil, paprika, and red pepper flakes to give the soup some nice flavor. Toss in the corn and green onions, reserving a few tablespoons of soy milk for later, and bring the mixture back to a boil.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining soy milk and almond flour until you have a smooth mixture. Pour this into the soup along with a pinch of salt and some turmeric. Let it come back to a boil, stirring occasionally, until the chowder thickens up and becomes bubbly—this should take about 2 minutes. Once it’s thick and creamy, it’s ready to enjoy!

Best Foods To Serve With This
Serve this chowder with warm crusty bread or garlic toast to soak up the flavorful broth. A simple green salad on the side complements the richness and adds freshness to the meal.
Keeping It Fresh
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of plant milk or water if the chowder thickens too much. This soup can also be frozen for up to 2 months.
Frequently Asked Questions
