Slow Cooker Vegetable Chowder

onion

potatoes

carrots

bell pepper, chopped

green beans

celery

creamed corn

vegetable broth

parsley

basil

oregano

soy milk (or other milk)

corn starch

Place the onion, potatoes, carrots, pepper, green beans, celery, creamed corn, broth, parsley, basil, and oregano in the base of a crock-pot. Cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until potatoes are tender and cooked through. Season to taste with salt and pepper; depending on the saltiness of your broth, you may or may not need salt. I usually add 1/2 teaspoon and go from there.

Whisk together the soy milk and cornstarch until dissolved. Slowly add the soy milk mixture to the chowder and cook on high for another 30 minutes until thickened. Serve!

I ended up making this in my 3qt instant pot. I made a few changes in that I added small chunks of seitan, added fresh carrots and 1 cup of frozen mixed veggies (carrots, peas, corn and green beans), I left out celery and can of creamed corn (don’t have any in the house) and used almond milk. 

I did pretty much as you recommended for the instant pot and pressure cooked for 13 minutes and it came out perfect (my potatoes were cut smaller then your photos though)...oh and I added a handful or two of fresh spinach before serving 

It was a big hit on this rainy day in San Diego while we are stuck in the house due to social distancing. 

Just thought I would share for anyone thinking of trying this in the instant pot. I will definitely be making this again!

I just took a taste and it is delish (still have to wait 30 minutes since I just added the soymilk/cornstarch.  Yum, I can't wait!!!!  Thank you for the VEGAN chowder which I never thought of making!

I tried making this on high over three hours but it didn't really work out, so I lowered the temp and let it sit for a full six, but even after everything it didn't really thicken up to what I'd call a chowder. The flavor was good, but it was just too watery still.

I ended up making a roux to thicken it up on the stove, and added more salt and pepper and some paprika to serve because all the flour I used in the roux kind of dulled the flavors. BUT!! After adding salt, pepper, and paprika, it passes muster as a great chowder now. Not sure what I did wrong, if I'm just still not used to using the crock pot or what, but luckily soups are very forgiving.

I love this recipe! Its a huge hit with one of my vegan friends...must have made it about 10 times for him!
