Soup

Chowder, a creamy and hearty soup, holds a special place in the culinary traditions of U.S. coastal regions, particularly New England. Frequently featuring a medley of seafood, vegetables, and occasionally poultry, it’s revered as quintessential comfort food, especially cherished in the colder seasons for its warming and fulfilling qualities. In our vegan rendition, each comforting bowl brims with a wholesome mix of cauliflower, potatoes, mushrooms, and corn, delivering a flavorful and soul-enriching chowder experience.

So delicious! Was a bit time intensive, shouldn't have started when I was already hungry because the house smelt heavenly


Olivia - Jan. 11, 2025, 7:11 p.m.

Hi! Do you think it’d work out okay with broccoli instead of cauliflower? Thank you for the recipe!

PUL small logo PUL Team - Jan. 11, 2025, 9:25 p.m.

Hey Olivia, broccoli should work well as a substitute for cauliflower. Cauliflower cooks down to a soft texture, while the broccoli will likely retain some bite to it. It also might slightly change the flavour profile, but it will still be delicious ☺️

Oh this one is a keeper for sure. Hearty soup. Delicious.

I don't know if I cut my potatoes too big, but I think in the future I might pre steam them just a bit so the soup didn't burn slightly while trying to cook the potatoes through. Very tasty despite the hiccups!


Geraldine - May 30, 2024, 1:41 a.m.

Very tasty! One of the best recipes from the app I've tried so far. I thought there was an issue with the scaling feature but was corrected. 5 stars 🙌

So happy to hear it was enjoyed, Geraldine! In case it helps in the future, while it's generally fine to adjust quantities for meals, snacks, or drinks, scaling baking recipes—especially those involving leavening agents like baking powder and baking soda - is something we typically recommend doing with caution 🤓

So filling and amazing how few calories were in the dish (not that calories matter per se)


Rike - Jan. 8, 2024, 8:17 p.m.

I love it!


Poiven Capp - Jan. 8, 2024, 4:03 a.m.

hearty and flavorful chowder. I made my own tempeh bacon and let me tell you they went together SO WELL. great recipe!


Anna Galeithner - Jan. 1, 2024, 1:09 p.m.

My husband and I we liked this chowder very much. We added Brokkoli, because we needed to use ist. We will make again for sure.
Oh, and my husband made it. He doesn't cook very often, but with your great instructions He nearly made it without "mistake". 🤗
Thank you very much!

Aww we're smiling from ear to ear reading this, Anna, thank you! ☺️


Wencke Rodig - Dec. 12, 2023, 9:53 p.m.

This recipe also works great if you are tired and hungry and just throw everything in the pot and hope for the best 🤣 I blitzed it briefly and its absolutely delicious! I'm sure will be even better when followed the instructions but I'm very happy with it!

PUL small logo PUL Team - Dec. 14, 2023, 8:30 a.m.

Aw so happy it was enjoyed, Wencke, thank you!

Wencke Rodig - Dec. 14, 2023, 8:38 a.m.

❤️ thank you for all you do I'm so happy the android version of the app is now available, I use it every day and I am down to 0 food waste ❤️


Jessica Green - Dec. 12, 2023, 8:16 p.m.

Really impressed and it was so filling, my partner said it was the best chowder I've made.

PUL small logo PUL Team - Dec. 12, 2023, 8:33 p.m.

We're so happy that the chowder was enjoyed, Jessica, thank you! 😃


milena - Dec. 11, 2023, 12:06 a.m.

I LOVE IT! This was amazing.


Susan Schaefer - Dec. 4, 2023, 12:56 a.m.

Perfect recipe for a winter day. I used frozen cauliflower and corn, and it turned out great.


Molly W - Nov. 11, 2023, 7:25 p.m.

This was so so delicious!! We used smoked tofu which we grated (couldnt find vegan bacon at the shop) and it worked a treat! Would highly reccomend finishing with a good quality olive oil, it really elevates all the flavours. Also first time using the Make option on this app and loved the timers built into the app.

PUL small logo PUL Team - Nov. 11, 2023, 11:15 p.m.

Ooo smoked tofu is a lovely idea, Molly! Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with the recipe. The step-by-step "Make" feature is one of our favourite parts of the app 😃


Diane - Nov. 7, 2023, 10:24 a.m.

Hello, I didn't tried the recipe yet. I was wondering if the kombu brings flavour or is it to ease the digestion?
Can it be remplaced by a alguae mix ?

PUL small logo PUL Team - Nov. 7, 2023, 3:24 p.m.

Hi Diane, the kombu is predominantly used to impart flavour, but it's very subtle so you can opt to leave it out entirely. I can't say with confidence if an algae mix would be a suitable alternative as it's not something we have experience using as of yet.

Diane - Oct. 17, 2024, 11:32 p.m.

Thanks for the answer !


Sarah - Nov. 1, 2023, 7:40 p.m.

This was delicious and kid friendly!


Diane - Oct. 31, 2023, 10:42 p.m.

Ehhhh. Was not a fan.

PUL small logo PUL Team - Nov. 1, 2023, 12:57 a.m.

Hey Diane, thanks for sharing your experience with the soup, sorry you didn't love it. We strive for 5-star recipes, so if you have any feedback on what you didn't love about this one, we'd love to revisit it and see if we can make it better! 🤗


EL - Oct. 6, 2023, 3:17 a.m.

Added ~1 tbsp of apple cider vinegar at the end along with lots of fresh ground pepper & fresh parsley and dill. Used pork bacon instead of vegan bacon for the garnish. This was a hit on a chilly, rainy fall Midwest day.


Janet P - Oct. 3, 2023, 6:44 p.m.

It was ok. Had a sweet-ish taste I can’t put my finger on, but I didn’t use the “bacon” so that might be why.

PUL small logo PUL Team - Oct. 5, 2023, 7:36 a.m.

Hey Janet, thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts on the soup. Maybe it's the corn that's giving it a sweet kick? But we do *highly* recommend trying the vegan bacon bits for a richer flavour and better balance to the soup. We hope you enjoy the recipe more if you give it another try 🤗


Ginny - Oct. 3, 2023, 6:36 p.m.

This recipe was very easy to adapt to the InstantPot; 1st part 7 min, 2nd part 7 min settings. Delicious! Easy!
