Ingredients

    1 tablespoon olive oil
    large onion, chopped
    red or orange bell pepper, chopped
    4 cups water
    2 pounds potatoes, peeled and diced
    32 oz bag frozen corn
    2 tablespoons pureed chipotles in adobo, or to taste
    2 cups water
    1 tablespoon tomato paste
    ¼ cup nutritional yeast
    ¼ cup raw almonds
    ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
    ½ teaspoon onion powder
    ½ tablespoon sea salt
    ½ tablespoon fresh lime juice
    2 tablespoon corn starch

Directions

one recipe creamy vegan base, below
1 tablespoon olive oil
large onion, chopped
large red or orange bell pepper, chopped
4 cups water
2 pounds potatoes, peeled and diced
32 ounces frozen corn
1 - 2 tablespoons pureed chipotles in adobo, to taste*

Prepare the creamy vegan base.

Heat a stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, and once hot saute the onions until they are golden and soft, 7-10 minutes. Add the bell pepper and saute another minute. Next, add the water and potatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until the potatoes are soft, about 15 minutes.

Add the corn, chipotle, and creamy vegan base to the stockpot. Return to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until thickened, about 10-15 minutes.

Use a potato masher to break up the potatoes some. Transfer about half the chowder into a blender. Remove the center of the lid to vent, covering with a folded towel. Puree until smooth, and return to the stockpot. (An immersion blender doesn't work as well for this step.) Stir to combine and serve.

creamy vegan base

2 cups water
1/4 cup raw almonds
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 tablespoon sea salt
1/2 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 tablespoons corn starch

Place all ingredients in a blender and allow to soak while you prepare the rest of your recipe. Just before adding the base, blend until smooth. No chunks of almond should remain. This may take up to two minutes.

* You can puree cans of chipotles in adobo in a food processor and store in a jar for an extended period of time. If you don't want to puree them, blend 1 - 3 peppers from a can of chipotles in adobo along with the creamy base.

    Very Good
    So tasty! It reminds me of one of my favorite (bad for me) tortilla soups. Yum. - 1/11/11
