Just because warmer weather is around the corner doesn’t mean we can’t still enjoy our soups! Why not feature one of Summer’s most abundant ingredients, corn, and make it the star of the meal!? This Roasted Corn Chowder does not only that, but we’re keepin’ it light and fresh by using plain greek yogurt for some tang instead of heavy cream. I've also included recipe suggestions for a vegan corn chowder option as well!

How to Roast Corn

If you’d like to take a shot at roasting your own corn, it’s easy! Just take your corn, husk and all, trim it of excess corn silk and stringy husk. Preheat your oven to 400 and roast for 30 minutes. Tender and juicy corn awaits you after you peel back the husk.

If you don’t fancy roasting your own corn, frozen roasted corn is easy to come by these days. It gives a deeper, sweeter flavor and pairs really well with the creamy cashew base. You will need a few ingredients for this easy Summer chowder including corn, greek yogurt, potato, and veggie broth! To add to the creaminess, after the potatoes became tender, I transfered this soup to a food processor  and gave it a good spin for 1 minute on high. It blended to creamy perfection! 

Best Way To Blend Soup

If you don’t have a food processor you can definitely use a high speed blender or even an immersion blender. Just remember to hold a towel over the opening of your blender so the hot air can escape. Otherwise you are going to end up with hot chowder all over the kitchen. 

The yogurt adds undeniable body and creaminess to this corn chowder. It’s the key to keeping it light and healthy and also gives it fantastic flavor! Just 1 cup of it in the blender with the soup and nobody would even suspect it! This chowder goes very well with Mexican flavors, so we’ve topped it off with some bright cilantro, spicy jalapeno, and green onion. Enjoy at your next back porch dinner!

How To make vegan corn chowder

Here is an amazing substitute for a VEGAN corn chowder! Looking to cut out the dairy? No problem. I've also made this soup using JOI Cashew Base instead of the yogurt. It was just as amazing and you would never guess it is dairy free! It makes the creamiest sub for yogurt and really you won't even miss it!
