    This vegetable corn chowder is dairy-free and full of veggies. I love creamy soups like chowder, so I have re-created my favourite soups at home without the dairy.

    To make this chowder rich and creamy without any dairy, I used cauliflower and cashews. Soak the cashews for 2-6 hours to make them easier to blend up into the soup.

    Nutritional yeast is added to give some cheesy flavour as well.

    Making the Vegetable Corn Chowder

    In a large pot set to medium heat, add the virgin coconut oil. Once melted and hot, add the garlic and onion. Sauté until onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

    Add the cauliflower and water. Cover and bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer until cauliflower is fork tender. Turn off the heat.

    At this point, we are going to purée the soup. I used a vented high-speed blender - a Vitamix. If you don't have a vented blender, use an immersion blender.

    Carefully scoop up the soup into the blender container. Add the soaked cashews and nutritional yeast. Blend until thoroughly puréed. You may need to do this in a few batches depending on the size of your blender container.

    You may also try to use an immersion blender. Add the cashews and nutritional yeast into the pot and carefully submerge the immersion blender to purée the soup.

    After the soup has been puréed, add the rest of the ingredients into the pot - zucchini, potatoes, carrots, corn kernels and sea salt. Cover, bring to a boil and simmer until vegetables are tender.

    Scoop into bowls, sprinkle some chopped green onions, serve warm and enjoy!
