Corn Chowder
I challenged myself to create a WFPB healthy corn chowder recipe for the upcoming fall days that was dairy and oil-free but big on flavor. So here it is!
The lite coconut milk adds another layer of sweetness but it doesn’t scream “coconut!” while it replaces the dairy for the creaminess you expect.
With just a few ingredients of corn, a potato, and an onion, this soup really will fill you with the warmth you look for on those crisp autumn days.

If the soup is to thick, add more vegetable broth/stock or plant based milk 1/2 cup at aa time to your desired consistency. You may need to adjust seasonings.
