Vegan Cheesy Bacon Chowder

This recipe is based off of a family recipe, and this cheesy potato chowder is not only far more nutritious than the original, it is equally delicious. If you do not have vegan bacon on hand, then never fear: the chowder without bacon is still feast-worthy.

Ingredients:

• olive oil
• 1 batch cheese sauce, minus 1/4 C. milk
• 1 package of vegan bacon (about 6 strips)
• 3 potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1 cup carrots, chopped
• 1 cup broth
• 1 cup vegan milk of choice
• 1 can of corn, drained
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Instructions:

1. Fry bacon according to package instructions with onion. 
2. Add potatoes and carrots and fry for about five more minutes. 
3. Add broth, pepper, and milk. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat and simmer 15-20 minutes or until tender. 
4. Pour in cheese sauce and corn then stir on low/medium heat until desired consistency is reached. Makes about 4-6 bowls.

Servings: 5 bowls

Estimated Time: 70 minutes
