Spicy Southwestern Vegan Corn Chowder With Quinoa, Potatoes   Red Lentils

Delicious and creamy southwest chicken corn chowder made with beautiful summer veggies like sweet corn and fresh peppers. This easy chicken corn chowder recipe is filled with savory southwest flavors and spices and packs plenty of protein. Add your favorite toppings for the perfect end-of-summer dinner!

Southwest Chicken Corn Chowder

For the chicken:

chicken

salt and pepper

For the corn chowder:

white onion, chopped

garlic cloves,

poblano

red bell pepper, diced

cumin

turmeric

chili powder

garlic powder

oregano

cayenne (only

chicken broth

plain greek yogurt (or sour cream)

salt, plus more to taste

black pepper

(15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained

lime

To garnish:

cheddar cheese

cilantro

avocado

Tortilla chips

Greek yogurt

In a large soup pot over medium-high heat add the olive oil and diced chicken, season with salt and pepper and cook until cooked through until chicken is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Once chicken is done cooking, transfer to a bowl or plate and set aside.

In the same pot, reduce heat to medium and add in onion, garlic, poblano, red bell pepper, potatoes and corn and saute for 6-8 minutes or until potatoes start to soften a bit.

Next stir in spices and cook for 30 seconds to release their flavors and aromas, then slowly stir in the milk, broth and yogurt (or sour cream), scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan as you stir. Season with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium low and gently simmer for 10-15 minutes uncovered or until the potatoes are tender and can easily be pierced with a fork.

To give a creamy texture, blend approximately half of the soup (BE CAREFUL WHILE DOING THIS!) then return to the pot. Stir to incorporate and then taste and adjust seasonings -- adding in more salt and pepper if necessary. You can blend more if you like a creamier soup, but I love a little texture. Finally stir in the chicken, black beans and lime juice.

To serve, garnish with shredded cheese, scallions, cilantro, avocado and a swirl of greek yogurt or sour cream (if not vegan). Makes 6 servings.

This creamy, zesty chowder features sweet corn, potatoes, fire-roasted peppers, green chiles, and southwest-style flavors. It&#39;s slightly smoky, warmly spiced, and deliciously cheesy!

Southwest Corn Chowder (Vegan!)

yellow onion

jalapeño peppers

red potatoes

dairy-free milk (plain, unsweetened)

sweet corn

red bell peppers

green chiles (mild

yeast

smoked paprika

cilantro (optional)

Cut potatoes into small, bite-sized cubes (about ⅔-inches each). Set aside.

Dice onion. In a large stockpot over medium-high heat, sauté onion for 7-8 minutes. (I use 3 Tbsp. water/broth for no-oil sauté method, adding more as needed.)

Meanwhile, mince garlic and jalapeño peppers (seeds removed).

Add garlic, jalapeño, potatoes, and smoked paprika to pot. Cook 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add broth, milk, sweet corn, roasted bell peppers (diced), green chiles, and nutritional yeast.

Bring to a light boil. Then cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.

Leave as is, or blend some for a creamier texture. (I like to blend about half with an immersion blender.)

Roughly chop cilantro and add to pot. Salt &amp; pepper to taste if desired.
