Vegan Corn & Wild Rice Chowder - Hummusapien (2024)

I love this soup… we make it all the time. I add garlic and onion powder along with the salt and pepper. It’s fall again so I’m back to making this 🙌🏻

How long would this talkie in the Instant Pot?

Really delicious recipe that differs from the typical "nothing-but-corn" recipes. For some reason, red bell pepper seems more appropriate than green bell pepper, but might be nice using 1 cup of each.
Might be good to add only 2 cups of vegetable broth at the end instead of 2.5 cups, to make it thicker. Overall, a real "keeper" of a recipe!

Awesome, thanks Lisa!

Made this delicious chowder tonight. Paired with a grain free almond bread, it was perfection. Thanks for a great recipe!

Hi Alexis! This is fab! How long would say it's good for ? And would you recommend freezing it ?
Thanks

Thanks, Kathleen! It's so decadent tasting and satisfying...perf for fall!

I've been eating dairy free for my 5 month old who I breastfeed. I have been craving creamy soups like this one but so many recipes have milk, heavy cream, cream cheese, etc. This recipe sounds perfect!!

I just made this recipe and it was DELISH! I substituted short grain brown rice for the wild rice since that's what I had in the pantry. I'm a dietitian in VA and just recently discovered your website! Great recipes and information! I've been a pescetarian for a few years now but I am trying to give the vegan life a try! Unfortunately, cheese is a big weakness of mine so we will see how it goes! Thanks for your yummy recipes and fun blog 🙂

A flavorful chowder! I can't wait to make one. I'm sure I will definitely enjoy this.

I'm so glad you liked it, Emily! Now I need to make another batch!

Quick clarification. The recipe calls for 1lb plus 1 cup of corn. The directions say to puree 1lb of the corn w/ broth, but I don't see the other cup mentioned. Am I just missing it? Does it get added (unpureed) into the chowder? This is going to be tonight's dinner- can't wait to try it! Thanks!

Good for you for not labeling yourself!!

Hahah nice! Sadly, I've never actually been there. That smoked paprika addition sounds fab!

Putting a healthy spin on classics is my favorite way to come up with new recipes! I'm so glad you appreciate the sense of balance---it's just as important as eating healthy.

Hahaha such a cute story!!

My boyfriend eats meat like it's his job and he LOVED this soup!

Hope you love it!!

Ahhhh The China Study--so incredible!! Who knows what'll happen when I get pregnant. I know I'll be eaten a whoooole lot of pickles....

I have a package of wild rice with this soup's name all over it! Love that it is vegan 🙂

I loved reading the backstory to your vegetarianism! I read Skinny Bitch back in the day, too. The China Study is what turned me vegetarian, though. That book was life-changing for sure. Then I got pregnant with Meghan and meat just had to happen again. Anyway, this recipe looks fab! I love hearty vegan recipes. 🙂

I went vegan back when I was in high school for about 4 months, but at that time in Trinidad it was extremely expensive to get a lot of the substitutes and my mother was not amused lol These days I'm back to eating meat but I go for days at a time without it because it makes me feel good.
Definitely gonna try this chowder soon!

I am not vegan but this still sounds very tasty.

I love hearing your story! I first became a vegetarian when I was in middle school because both my best friend and Drew Barymore (not the same person, sadly) were vegetarians. Needless to say, I went back to eating meat pretty quickly! I still do eat meat on occasion and love my fish, but it took me learning and truly understanding the benefits of plant-based nutrition to make a lifestyle change.

If I had a dime for every time someone asked me why I don't eat gluten, I'd be laying on that beach next to ya, sipping on gin and juice 😉 I watched Forks Over Knives, too...absolutely fascinating! And I totally stopped eating meat for a hot minute. But you know what they say, old habits involving bacon die hard. Anyhoo, your freaking soup looks amazing! I want every last slurp!

This soup sounds delicious! I love that you took a favorite recipe and put your own spin on it. While I do my best to eat a plant-based lifestyle, I've never been full-on vegetarian/vegan. I do think about it from time and time and it is definitely something I'd like to be more conscious of. Anyway, I love your nonrestrictive and laid-back attitude toward eating. It's inspiring and thanks for showing you can eat lentils and green smoothies all while enjoying your ice cream too!

Hahaha I lived in Tempe, AZ for a year (lived in Scottsdale, AZ for 12!) so that is hilarious! Have you been there or do you just know about Tempe? Either way I'm obsessed with this chowder. I pretty much live off of hearty soups/chowders in cooler weather (or in AZ's case, if the temp is below 90 degrees...I live in Milwaukee now). Making this asap! You should definitely add smoked paprika into the mix to keep that smoky flavor that reminds you of your family's favorite soup!

Your comment about "Tempeh" is hilarious!! 😉 But in all seriousness, I REALLY connect with what you are saying. My transition to a vegetarian/mostly plant-based diet truly fueled my passion for cooking/blogging and challenged me to become creative in the kitchen. I have no doubt that my blog would not exist if I hadn't taken that step.

Thanks for sharing your story... I was vegetarian at a point but now I will occasionally (1-2/month) eat some chicken or meat.... I definitely prefer not labeling my diet, but I like the term "plant based"!

this sounds so hearty!!!! yum!
