Method
 

How to Make Cozy Vegan Potato Chowder
  1. Heat a splash of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onions, minced garlic, diced carrots, and sliced celery; sauté for about 5 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden.
  2. Stir in the diced Yukon Gold potatoes along with thyme and paprika; cook briefly to coat everything in those beautiful spices.
  3. Add enough vegetable broth to just cover the vegetables and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Lower the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
  4. Gently stir in the coconut milk and allow it to simmer for another 5 minutes, letting those fantastic flavors meld together.
  5. If a smooth texture is your goal, grab an immersion blender and puree the chowder until you reach your desired creaminess.
  6. Ladle your delicious chowder into bowls, finish with fresh herbs, and serve with a side of crusty bread or your favorite crackers.

Notes

For an extra kick, sprinkle some red pepper flakes on top before serving. Gather and chop all vegetables before starting to keep the cooking process smooth.
