Vegan spicy Oat Corn chowder

55 minutes

4 servings

Ingredients

Soup

• 2 tbsp grapeseed oil or oil of choice as needed
• ½ cup diced red onion
• 4 cloves garlic, chopped
• 2 ¾ cups corn kernels
• 2 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp chilli powder
• Salt
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 Poblano pepper, diced
• 1 jalapeño pepper, diced
• 4 cups Two Bears Oat

Optional for serving

• Black beans (cooked)
• Sliced avocado
• Sliced jalapeño peppers
• Minced red onion
• Diced tomato or salsa
• Cilantro
• Chopped green onions
• Lime wedges

Instructions

• Pour in enough oil to fully coat the bottom of a large pot over medium-high heat. Stir in red onion and cook 5 minutes or until translucent.
• Stir in garlic, corn, cumin, smoked paprika, chilli powder, and salt. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the corn is tender. Stir in red bell pepper, Poblano pepper (if using), and jalapeño pepper (if using), and cook for 3 additional minutes, or until the peppers are softened.
• Stir in Two Bears Oat, increase the heat high, and cook until the mixture begins to boil. Reduce the heat to low and cook 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Turn off the heat.
• Carefully ladle or pour two-thirds of the soup into a blender container. (Divide into batches if needed to prevent overflowing. Don’t fill the container more than halfway when blending hot foods.) Cover and blend on high for 1 minute, or until the soup is creamy and the desired consistency is reached.
• Pour the blended soup back into the pot and stir until it is mixed evenly with the unblended portion.
• Ladle soup into bowls and serve with black beans, avocado, jalapeño peppers, red onion, tomato or salsa, cilantro, green onions, and lime wedges if desired.
