Useful tips for Corn Chowder

Recipe calls for olive oil for sautéing the onions. But if you’re whole food plant based, just use water.

You're in control of the texture for this soup. The image from the original recipe shows a silky smooth texture. To get that, blend on the highest speed your blender will go.

But we wanted a bit more texture, so we blended on variable speed 7, giving it a less silky look and feel. Up to you!
