Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 15 oz coconut milk can
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil. Toss in the chopped onion and sauté until they are soft and translucent (about 5-7 minutes). Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  2. Mix in the diced sweet potatoes and smoked paprika, and stir. Let it cook for about 2 minutes.
  3. Add in the vegetable broth and bring it to a simmer. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
  4. Reduce the heat and pour in the coconut milk. Stir well and allow your chowder to warm through for another 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in the corn, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let everything hang out together for a few more minutes.
  6. Spoon the chowder into bowls and top with fresh cilantro or parsley, if desired.

Notes

Feel free to add other veggies you have on hand or spices you love. For a thicker chowder, blend a portion with an immersion blender. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. It also freezes well.
