Ingredients
Makes 10 servings
2 – 3 cups peeled and chopped potatoes (about 1 pound)
2 cups vegetable broth or water
1 yellow onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 15-ounce cans corn (1 can undrained, 1 can drained)
1 4-ounce can diced green chilies
1 – 2 cup fortified soy- or rice milk
Directions
Place potatoes in a pot with broth or water. Cover and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes.
In a separate pan, heat 1/2 cup of water and cook onion, garlic, and bell pepper over medium heat until soft, about 5 minutes. Add cumin, basil, salt, turmeric, and black pepper and cook 5 minutes, stirring often.
When potatoes are tender, mash them in their cooking water and add onion mixture.
Blend one can of corn, with its liquid, until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes, then add it to the soup.
Add remaining can of corn, diced chilies, and 1 cup of non-dairy milk. Stir to mix. Add more non-dairy milk if a thinner soup is desired.
Heat gently until very hot and steamy.
