Summer is awesome. If I could have one season all year long that’s what I’d pick. The weather is great, it’s a great time for vacation and there are also all the amazing fruits and vegetables that are available. Here in New Jersey there are a couple of them that people go crazy for: tomatoes and corn. They say these things grow well here because of sandy loam soil. I don’t know if that’s true or not; I just know they both taste super good when I buy them. And they work well in delicious recipes like this one, too.

This Roasted Summer Corn Chowder showcases New Jersey’s favorite veggie—it’s just as good no matter where your corn is from!—and partners it with some other amazing flavors that come together to make what I think might be your new go to soup well into the fall.

What’s Inside

This one is really easy. Aside from the smoky roasted corn we’re talking zucchini, jalapeño peppers for a little kick, onions, potatoes, veggie broth and plant-based milk for that creamy base, and a few spices—paprika and thyme—to round it all out. So simple!

The other thing about this Roasted Summer Corn Chowder is that it’s super versatile. You can mix and match your own veggies and flavors (this Roasted Poblano version, for example, adds a few things and gets rid of others) to come up with different flavor profiles. Everything revolves around the creamy corn base.

Whether you stick with this recipe as I’ve written it or make your own adjustments, I think you’re going to really love the dish. It’s perfect for summer and a great way to use up all that Jersey corn!

Yield: 8
Calories: 253kcal

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil separated
  • 5 cups corn either fresh and cut from the cob or frozen
  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 2 jalapeño peppers seeded and diced
  • 1 zucchini cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 pound yellow potatoes cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 Tbsp. thyme
  • 1 tsp. paprika
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add corn and allow to cook until it starts to brown, turning every few minutes (this should take about 10 minutes total). If you're using ears of corn, cut the kernels from the cob when done cooking.
  • Add four cups of corn and plant-based milk to a blender. Blend until almost smooth. Set mixture aside.
  • In a Dutch oven or soup pot, heat second tablespoon of oil. Add onion and jalapeño peppers. Cook until they start to soften, about five minutes. Add remaining ingredients and corn/milk mixture. Stir to combine.
  • Bring the soup just to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Let cook until potatoes are soft, about 15 minutes. Serve with chives, cilantro or your favorite garnish.

Notes

You can make this recipe oil-free by using additional vegetable broth when cooking the corn, onions and peppers.
