Ingredients & Substitutions
Olive Oil - Any kind of olive oil, butter, or neutral vegetable oil will work here.
Garlic - We decided to use the entire bulb - we’re garlic lovers here! However, if you’re not a fan of garlic, feel free to hold back 1-2 garlic cloves instead.
Onion - Sweet/yellow onion was used in this recipe. However, red or white onions work great, too.
Corn - Frozen corn, fresh corn, or canned corn will work. If you decide to use canned corn, be sure to drain the liquid first.
Potatoes - Russets are perfect for this recipe since they have a lot of starch. The starch helps thicken up the soup without the need for flour or cornstarch.
Broth - Any kind of vegetarian broth will work!
Butter - A couple of tablespoons of butter was added to the end of the recipe to add some creaminess to the corn potato soup.
Red Pepper Flakes - Optional, great for heat.
Cilantro - To garnish, also optional. Other garnishes that may be used include roasted corn, chives, parsley, or green onion.

What To Eat With Creamy Corn Potato Soup
My favorite way to serve corn soup is with a chunk of fresh bread with butter. Other options include croutons, breadsticks, or crostini.
For something lighter, go with your choice of salad.
If you’re craving a sandwich, go with vegan grilled cheese, chickpea salad sandwich, or veggie salad.
How To Store
This soup can be stored in the refrigerator in an air-tight container for up to 3-4 days.
To reheat, warm in a Dutch oven over medium heat until warmed through. Add some additional water or broth if needed.
Recipe Tips
- Feel free to add more spices and seasonings. We’re keeping it simple. But you can add smoked paprika if you want a smoky soup. Or, add other spices like garlic powder and onion powder.
