Creamy Vegan Corn Chowder: Versatile and Delicious

As part of a healthy lifestyle, we believe that a whole-food, plant-based diet is the most beneficial for human health. Cooking healthy meals doesn’t have to be a time-consuming chore. More and more vegan chefs are now available on the internet, constantly churning out delicious and simple recipes.

One of those recipes is this week’s Creamy Corn Chowder, adapted from Chef AJ’s book “Unprocessed” (Jaye & Merzer, 2011). Whether it’s cold outside or it’s a summer day, this is a simple and versatile recipe that can be enjoyed warm or chilled. In the wintertime, it can be enjoyed as a cozy and healthy soup, but during warmer days it can be served chilled, like a gazpacho.
