Ingredients & Substitutions
Using Yukon Gold potatoes adds a nice creaminess to the chowder without needing any nutritional yeast. If you prefer, you can swap in other types of potatoes, but I find Yukon Golds give the best texture. Nutritional yeast really amps up the flavor—don’t skip it!
Tips & Notes
- •If I have leftover chowder, I like to keep it in a mason jar in the fridge for quick lunches throughout the week.
- •Adding a squeeze of lime juice just before serving gives it a fresh pop of flavor!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I’ll add diced bell peppers for an extra crunch and sweetness.
- •If I’m feeling adventurous, I toss in a handful of kale or spinach near the end for some greens!
Storage & Freezing
This chowder stores beautifully in the fridge for up to 4 days. Just make sure to let it cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months—just thaw it in the fridge overnight before reheating.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use canned corn instead of fresh?
Absolutely! Just drain and rinse the canned corn before adding it to the chowder.
What if I don’t have almond oat milk?
No worries! Any plant-based oat milk will work here—oat or cashew oat milk are great alternatives!
