2 leeks thinly sliced
3 shallots thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic minced
4 cups thawed frozen or drained canned corn
2 medium yellow potatoes peeled and diced
2 stalks celery thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flake (optional)
6 cups Vegetable Broth
1 cup unsweetened soy milk
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives or 1 teaspoon dried
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried

Put the leeks, shallots, and garlic in a medium dry pot over medium-low heat and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Stir in the corn, potatoes, celery, and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring frequently, for 15 minutes, making sure the vegetables don’t brown. Stir in the broth and soymilk. Increase the heat to medium-high and simmer for 20 minutes, using a ladle to skim off any foam that forms at the surface. Discard the foam. Stir in the chives and thyme. Serve hot.

Stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator, Yellow Corn Chowder will keep for 3 days. Reheat before serving.

Note: If you replace the yellow corn with sweet white corn, this soup will taste just as good. I prefer yellow corn for this recipe because the color contrasts so well with the other ingredients.
