Ingredients
Vegan Corn Chowder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
- Place a large soup pot over medium heat and add olive oil and onion. Cook for a few minutes until translucent.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and add corn and potatoes. Season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
- Bring to a boil, then let simmer for 10 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
