Do I have to have a soup blender?

No! If you don’t have a powerful blender, you can use an immersion blender (some people call it a stick blender). They’re available in a wide range of prices, from $30 up to $300, making them a fairly budget-friendly option. Trust me, you don’t need anything super fancy!

How long does creamy vegan corn soup last?

What is the difference between cream of corn soup and corn chowder?

Typically, cream of corn soup is made out of whole corn kernels with a cream-based sauce. Corn chowder has a similar base but also contains pieces of other vegetables such as celery, onion, potatoes, and meat making it a much thicker and chunkier food.

What do I do if my soup is too thin?

If you find that your soup is too thin, try adding a slurry to thicken it up without altering the taste.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450 Fahrenheit. While the oven is preheating, toss the kernels in 1 Tablespoon oil and and 1/4 teaspoon sea salt. Place on a baking tray. Roast the corn kernels for 15 -20 minutes (toss halfway to prevent burning). Corn will be slightly golden brown.
Remove corn kernels, and let cool just a bit before blending.
Peel the garlic. Place the corn, garlic, spices, coconut milk, and 1/4 cup basil leaves in a blender. Blend until creamy. Or, use a food processor or handheld blender. (It may take extra time to get to the right consistency.) For thinner soup, add in 1/4 cup vegetable broth. Blend again.
Pour blended soup into a medium pot. Heat on medium heat until it comes to a soft boil. About 2-3 minutes. Then, reduce the heat to low until ready to serve.
Serve in bowls with fresh basil on top, extra chili sauce, extra roasted corn, and black pepper or peppercorn.
Optional topping – A drizzle of coconut milk and olive oil, plus jalapeño slices.
Store in fridge or freezer in an airtight container.

Notes

Due to coconut milk/cream becoming solid at cooler temperatures, you will need to mix thoroughly or blend again if you want to reheat.
