I love all kinds of soup. I especially like Thai coconut milk-based soups and corn and potato chowders. When I spotted a recipe for corn with potato chowder soup made with coconut milk on blog, Vegan Heaven, I had to give it a try!
I am sharing my experience making this delicious corn and potato chowder for the Pinterest Challenge blog hop. The challenge is an encouragement to not just pin projects and recipes, but to make them happen! Be sure to visit the links at the end of this post to see the great things my blogging friends tackled this month!
The Vegetarian corn chowder with potatoes by Vegan Heaven is the inspiration for my recipe for the Pinterest Challenge.

Coconut Milk Corn Chowder with Potatoes
This coconut corn chowder with potatoes is easy to make and can be made completely vegetarian with veggie broth, or with some chicken broth as I did. (I just happened to have chicken broth in my pantry.)
I found this soup quick to make and delicious, too! I thought I would have leftovers when I made this soup. But, my family ate every last bit of this comforting and savory soup.
Coconut Milk Corn & Potato Chowder Recipe
(Adapted from a recipe by Vegan Heaven)
Ingredients
- 3 medium-sized russet potatoes, cut into cubes
- 5 cups corn kernels (I used canned)
- 2 stalks of celery, chopped
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 4 cups chicken broth (use vegetable broth for a vegetarian option)
- 1.5 cups coconut milk
- salt, to taste
- black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
-
Cut all the vegetables into bite-sized chunks or slices. Put 2 cups of the corn in a blender with the coconut milk. Blend until smooth. Set aside.
-
In a large pot, sauté the onion in some oil until it becomes translucent. Add the vegetables, the chicken broth and the pureed corn. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
-
Season the soup with salt and pepper and sprinkle with the green onion and cilantro.

That is always a win when there are no leftovers. It looks delicious & perfect for a cold day, to me that’s when soup taste the best.
That does sound yummy! I have never tried using coconut milk in soup but I bet it adds a nice flavor. Pinned.
What a great meal for these cold days! Pinning!
I so enjoy a savory bowl of soup and this looks delicious. I only wish my husband liked soup too. He does love corn so I just might be able to trick him into eating this if I tell him its corn chowder (wink).
That soup looks and sounds delicious! I’m particularly intrigued by using coconut milk. Yum!
Lauren, that soup looks and sounds delicious! I’m particularly intrigued by using coconut milk. Yum!

This looks delicious, Lauren! I’ll have to try this on a cold day. I’ve never made a chowder before, but I love it!
I love corn and potato chowder and will have to try it with coconut milk! Sounds delicious!
Sound like a delicious version of corn chowder with the coconut milk. Question though, can you taste the coconut milk or is it masked? Not sure my kids would like it with the coconut milk, although I would totally eat it.
Hi, Erlene! The coconut milk just makes the soup sweet and savory. I don’t think the chowder has a coconut taste to it.
Soup and Salad is a favorite meal for us. Your chowder looks delicious! -Marci @ Stone Cottage Adventures
