Sweet Potato Corn Chowder Recipe- Healthy And Delicious!
Vegan corn chowder is creamy, sweet, savory, and has a slight earthiness from the corn. Its base consists of plant-based milk (rice milk), vegetable broth, and ingredients such as sweet potatoes, onions, and thyme. The corn gives it a naturally sweet flavor, while the creamy texture makes it rich and comforting. Depending on the recipe, it can have a smoky or slightly spicy taste if you add ingredients like smoked paprika or jalapeños.
