Vegan Clam Chowder Recipe

Vegan Clam Chowder recipe
Nora Cooks

Creamy and oh-so-satisfying, this Vegan Clam Chowder is easy to make and full of flavor! Ready in just 30 minutes.

Ingredients

3/4 cup raw cashews
1 cup water
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
2 celery ribs, diced
4 tablespoons all purpose flour (gluten free if needed)
4 cups vegetable broth
15 ounce can hearts of palm, drained and chopped
1 teaspoon vegan Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and chopped
Vegan Bacon, optional (see instruction #6 for options)

Method

1
Bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Pour the hot water over the cashews and let soak for 5 minutes. Drain the cashews and discard the soaking water. Add them to a high powered blender along with 1 cup fresh water and blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
2
Warm the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes.
3
Add the carrots and celery to the pot and sauté for another 2 minutes. Sprinkle the flour on top of the vegetables and stir, then slowly pour in the broth while stirring constantly.
4
Now add the chopped hearts of palm, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, hot sauce, old bay seasoning, salt, pepper and potatoes.
5
Bring the soup to a boil, then lower heat to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes until the potatoes are fork tender.
6
If using vegan bacon, prepare it and cook it until crispy. I used Lightlife bacon, but my tempeh bacon would be great here (or tofu bacon).
7
Stir the cashew cream into the soup. It should now be very creamy. Serve with crackers, fresh chopped parsley and vegan bacon, if desired. Enjoy!
