Corn has always been one of my favorite summer foods.
I recall once eating four cobs in one sitting at a family cookout, much to my parents’ amazement. It’s just that good.
When the warmer months roll around, I’m all about corn: cornbread muffins, cornbread waffles, corn salsa, corn everything. In our cookbook, I even share my go-to cornbread and cornbread crouton recipes. So good with/on everything.
So, I figured it was prime time to add some corn soup to my repertoire, especially since it lends itself well to creamy, brothy goodness. Enter, this summer corn soup.
The recipe is simple: 9 ingredients total, and likely things you have on hand right now. And not only is it both vegan and gluten free, but it can also be prepared one of two ways: Blended and smooth, or chunky and brothy.
I blended mine, but it would also be delicious left as is. I just happen to be all about the creamy vegan things. Can you really blame me?
This soup is the perfect light summer meal. It’s
Warm
Healthy
Satisfying
Savory with a subtle sweetness
Loaded with summer produce
Quick & easy
& Creamy or Brothy – whichever you prefer
I highly recommend making this soup as a last summer hurrah before fall arrives. It has the perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors, is healthy, and makes an ideal light lunch or dinner when accompanied with bread, a sandwich or a salad. Enjoy!
Simple Summer Corn Soup
Ingredients
- 2-3 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 large white onion (chopped // 1/2 onion yields ~1 cup)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 4 small red potatoes* (quartered // peeling, optional)
- Sea salt and ground black pepper
- 3 ears corn* (kernels sliced off)
- 2 cups low sodium veggie broth* (DIY or store-bought)
- 2 cups unsweetened plain almond milk* (or regular milk if not vegan)
- 2-3 stalks green onions (for garnish // chopped)
- 1-2 Tbsp nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor (optional)
Instructions
- To a large saucepan over medium heat, add olive oil, onion, and garlic and sauté for 3-4 minutes.
- Add potato, season with a little salt and pepper, and cover to steam for 4-5 minutes.
- Add most of the corn, reserving a little for garnish, and stir.
- NOTE: If you plan to blend the soup, I recommend (as suggested above) adding half broth, half milk for a creamier texture. But if you intend to leave it unblended, forgo the milk and do all vegetable broth (4 cups | 960 ml // adjust amount if altering the default number of servings) for best texture/flavor.
- Add broth and almond milk (if using), cover, and bring to a low boil. Reduce heat to low. Cook until the potatoes are soft and slide off of a knife when pierced – about 5-10 minutes.
- If blending, add 3/4 of the soup to a blender and blend until creamy and smooth. If using nutritional yeast, add now.
- Transfer soup back to the saucepan and bring back to a simmer. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Cook for at least 10 minutes to let thicken. The longer it simmers, the more flavorful it will be.
- To serve, top with chopped green onion, remaining fresh (or lightly sauteed) corn, and black pepper. Add a sprinkle of paprika for color.
Notes
* 1.5 cans corn can be subbed for the 3 ears fresh corn.
*Nutrition information is a rough estimate calculated using half almond milk, half vegetable broth.
Jami says
Absolutely delicious! Just used the 4 cups vegetable broth.
The chowder tasted rich – hard to believe it was just vegetables, vegetable broth, and a bit of olive oil. I served it with tuna salad (without mayo) wrapped in lettuce leaves. I was looking for something healthy that was different. This was it.
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
Sounds lovely! Thanks so much for the lovely review, Jami!
Diane says
I doubled the recipe because of my circle’s hearty appetites and loved this sweet tasty soup. Plus it is one of those soups that gets better the next day. I did make my own vegetable broth with the flavor of lots of left-over vegetables that we freeze rather than waste.
Would love a soup like this to freeze and enjoy in the winter months. Any tips?

Bev says
Hi, I was looking for a quick meal and this was quick. I used a can of cream style corn and a 16oz bag of frozen corn. I’m not supposed to eat onions or garlic but did add a little dried onions and powdered garlic that I had softened up in a small pan of water. I don’t use oil to saute my veggies but use water (Whole Plant Food Based diet). I used Trader Joe’s Hearty Vegetable Broth and almond milk. I added a little salt & pepper. To spice it up a little I used some Soul Food (salt, garlic, paprika, onion, & spices including black pepper, & red pepper) seasoning into my mug and it was very warming. I kept the large pot simple with onions, garlic, salt, and freshly ground pepper. I didn’t use potatoes as I ididn’t have any. I dunked a slice of Trader Joe’s sourdough bread and that was very good too. I also made a fast Sweet Potato Biscuit recipe from Taste of Home that’s similar to a recipe I make. I wanted to compare it to a recipe for sweet spud biscuits. The recipe I usually use comes from an old tavern in the 1700’s. It made a nice meal and satisfied my longing for corn chowder. Next time I may try the nutritional yeast in it. Thank you.

Cindy says
I find the directions for the amount of liquid to use to be confusing. I used the function on your site to adjust the amounts for 6 servings, not the original 3. But, of course, it does not adjust the comments. So, to double the recipe I should have used all 8 cups of liquid – 4 of milk and 4 of broth? Because I was following the comments, I used a total of 4 cups which makes an extraordinary thick soup. So before I add more, would you please confirm that I need to use all 8 cups? Many thanks.
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
Hi Cindy, sorry for the confusion! Yes, if doubling, use 4 cups of each. We’ll give the instructions another look to see if we can improve clarity there.
Carol says
I would really like to know what are the best tasting and healthiest nutritional yeasts and store-bought vegan broths. So many store-bought plant foods taste nothing like fresh, and are lousy.

This recipe was delicious! I added jalapeño, celery, thyme, powdered rosemary, and some leftover white beans. I was running out of vegetable stock, so I added the bean broth, coconut milk (instead of almond/soy) and a little water. I blended about 3/4th a cup of the soup. We also ate some stale bread croutons on the side. It was delicious!! Best meal I’ve made in months. Thank you for such an adaptable recipe!!

Clare Rose says
3 things I must say about me before I review.
I am not vegan, I cook vegan for my daughter.
I don’t like soup.
I always change recipes because they never have enough flavour in my opinion.
Now to talk about this recipe.
This soup is amazing, beautiful. I followed the recipe but used 3 cups frozen corn as that is what I had to hand. I also used the half milk half stock version and blended with nutritional yeast. I cannot get enough of this gorgeous soup.
Seriously, the best recipe I have ever read.

Jade A. says
I added blackened poblanos and a jalapeno pepper to the stew. My mom used to make a similar soup with tabasco sauce and I like how the extra spice kick really accentuates the sweetness of the corn. For toppings I blackened a little corn, and also made some homemade croutons to throw in. Delicious- will be making again!

Crus says
This was a amazing! I was looking for something to do with extra ears of corn I had handy. I added some other spices like garlic powder and a little adobo. I also took someone’s advice from the comments and added the cobs to the simmer to maximize the taste. I also put a little vegan butter and blended the soup. Served with warm bread – it was so good!

Oh and I blended it with fresh parsley!

Megan says
We make this all the time, (so easy and delicious!) I’ve been wondering how it would turn out by subbing cauliflower for potatoes…any insight on how that could impact the end result? Thanks!
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
We’re so glad you enjoy it, Megan! We think subbing up to half the potatoes with cauliflower could be nice, but the flavor could be overpowering if using too much of it. Let us know how it goes!
Amy says
Do you think this would work replacing milk with silken tofu?
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
Hmm, maybe! Love that creativity. You may need to water it down to get the consistency right, though! Let us know how it goes if you give it a try!
Amy says
The tofu worked well. I didn’t blend (might try blended next time), just squashed the potato pieces with the ladle once they were soft and mashed the silken tofu with a spoon before I added it so it kinda looked like I’d cracked an egg in there. I also used the full 4 cups stock….
My mum is having chemo at the moment and the first week after a chemo session it’s hard to get food into her but soups are going down pretty well so I’m just trying to find ways to give them extra protein without changing the flavour. We’ve been having lots of pumpkin soup that I blend chickpeas into but I think a change is welcome now so nice to put this one in the mix. Thanks :)

Thank you for sharing, Amy! Wishing you and your mom all the best! xoxo

Mmmmm, going to the mountains today so corn chowder it is. Used “no chicken cube” 2 cups water and maybe a cup of unsweetened oat milk. My spice was ancho Chile with a little cayenne. Blended half and it’s damn delicious! Thanks for an easy perfect recipe!

cathy anderson says
Had some left over ‘road corn’ (we call it that in my family because in summer in CT, we buy it from the side of the road!). Just made this chowder and it will be a go to for sure. So easy and yummy. Feels light but tastes rich and hearty. I did blend some but only a few ladles full-what would fit in my nutribullet-and did add some nutritional yeast & smoked paprika. I had some cauliflower I needed to use up too so I added florets in while it was simmering. I did add extra quartered gold potatos so ended up using 3 C. each of broth and unsweet oat milk, lots of S&P. Perfect on this rainy, cool summer day. Thank you!!

Wonderful! Love your modifications, Cathy. Thanks so much for the lovely review! xo
Joanna Rock says
this soup is good! but – don’t waste your corn cobs. If you use fresh corn, after sautéing the onions, simmer the cobs in the liquid for a half hour, remover the cobs, before proceeding with the rest of the recipe.

So glad you enjoy it! Thanks for sharing, Joanna!
Bridget says
This recipe is delicious! Very creamy and rich with no cream or cashews! This soup was very easy to make. I only had frozen corn, I used 2 1/4 cups.

I made this just now. It’s really good and easy. I used frozen corn and added oregano, paprika and a couple bay leaves.
I blended my soup, so I what I did was leave about half the corn out, fully blended the soup with my immersion blender and then dumped the other half of the corn in and let it cook for a bit. I got a nice thick soup with corn still obvious!
Really good! Thank you!

In what universe do potatoes only take five minutes to cook?? 🤣 I don’t count the “steaming” part as cooking time, either, because that’s more like “stick potatoes to the bottom of your pan” time. Deglaze, highly recommended.
Otherwise, a yummy soup if you add spices. I added thyme, smoked paprika, and an extra like TEN TO FIFTEEN MINUTES of cooking time.
Dana @ Minimalist Baker says
ha, thanks for sharing, Courtney! We’ll take another look at cook time!

Stacey says
Even though it’s still hot out, I wanted to make some soup with my fresh corn I got from the farmer’s market. This was perfect. I added some jalapeno, cumin and chipotle spice and it is so good! For the milk I used some homemade oat/coconut milk and the oat part of the milk may have given the soup a just slightly odd texture, but the taste outweighs that. I considered blending it, but I’m happy with it the way it is. I’m going to freeze part of it so that I can have it on a cold day and remember this warm weather. :)
Support @ Minimalist Baker says
Love that idea! Thanks for the lovely review and for sharing your modifications, Stacey!
Stezy says
This is JUST what I wanted. Too often I crave something find a recipe and make it, but it just doesn’t scratch the itch (the plight of looking for vegan recipes of old loved meals)… this one scratched it and then some.
I added bay leaf, because bay leaf makes everything better. I also added this seasoning grinder blend I have (a mix of salt, mixed peppercorn, garlic, onion, red pepper, chili, parsley, cayenne, cumin, and oregano) during the blender stage, and it amped it up even more.
I feel like the more I play with it, the better it will get…
Added to my recipe bookmarks!

Whoop! We’re so glad it hit the spot, Stezy! Thanks so much for sharing!
Gedgal says
I made a double recipe of this last night for a fall family outing. The only thing I did differently was that I whisked 1/4 C Einkorn All Purpose Flour to the cold plant-based milk before adding, and I added a pinch of ground thyme to bring out the corn flavor. (I also used Organic frozen corn from Costco at 3/4C per ear of corn because there’s so much GMO “fresh” corn out there!)
I reserved some corn and pulled out some potato chunks before blending it. I added those in after blending to give it some texture. The blended corn actually makes this soup taste like it’s been sweetened, which is a nice and unexpected touch!
This recipe was a huge success at the gathering and I was complimented quite a bit and was asked for the recipe. This is a BIG keeper and I will be making it often this fall! Thank you for another great recipe! 😊

I made this last night to feed my house during quarantine! I added a few more things to make it more hearty and to feed more people. I added 2 small carrots and 2 stalks of celery to the garlic and onions. I also added a rinsed/drained can of cannellini beans. I also spiced it with smoked paprika & chipotle pepper powder. I also subbed canned full fat coconut milk (plus a lil water) instead of The almond milk. It turned out perfectly! Blended half of it, so it still had a good bit Of chunkiness. Served with homemade crusty bread

Coconut milk idea. Perfect!

Thank for the recipe!! I made this and it was so good!! I modified it slightly by using only veggie broth, no dairy or dairy substitute, and I did not flavor with nutritional yeast but shaved a little Parmesan on top of the bowls before serving. It was soooo delicious!! I will absolutely be making this again!
