Sometimes all it takes is a big bowl of Corn and Potato Soup to satisfy your hunger. This comfort food will warm your body and make your belly happy!
**This recipe recently was revamped. Just new pictures and a video, but the delicious recipe stays the same!
I am such a lover of soup! Whether its hot or cold, soup always tastes good! I love pairing corn and potatoes together. It makes me think of my mom. She loved to eat mashed potatoes topped with corn! This soup is essentially that dish but in “soup” form. Isn’t it great when food can bring back happy memories?
This soup is certainly a comfort food recipe for me. It uses simple ingredients, it tastes amazing and it brings back happy memories! You can’t get much better than that!

Yum. Corn & potato chowder was always my favorite (even when I was not a vegetarian and still ate fish—never did get into clam chowder, the soup of my native New England land). This looks good!
Cindy says
Thanks! I never did try cham chowder back when I was a meat eater, but I know its very popluar 🙂
Bethany says
Yum! This looks really good!
Cindy Gordon says
Thanks Bethany! This is a comfort dish for me! YUM!
Sherry says
Vegetarian and gluten free. I love it.
Cindy Gordon says
Thanks Sherry!

I think a green salad would be really good with this soup. Since they’re in season, I’d probably make a salad with pomegranate seeds. I think they would add a nice brightness to the salad and would complement the meal.
Cindy Gordon says
Oh that would be a beautiful and tasty salad!
Melanie says
How about a multigrain roll? Or cornbread. I love cornbread with soup.
Cindy Gordon says
Oh, those sound like great choices!
Tara Berke Torres says
Looks good! Corn is the one veggie that I prefer canned over frozen, so I would use that.. more of a bite to it (since fresh season is done)!
Cindy Gordon says
Yes, I love to can my own corn too!
Linda says
Thanks! Will try your recipe this week. Corn chowder is a family favorite.
Cindy Gordon says
Perfect, I hope that you enjoy!
Michelle Patriarco says
Sounds great, but I can’t have corn kernels. I would add ham and top with scallions. I would serve it with a tossed salad and sliced bread. All gluten free of course.
Cindy Gordon says
Sounds like some great compliments to the soup. Love your addition of ham and scallions!
Bobbi's Kozy Kitchen (@BobbisKozyKtchn) says
Looks delish! I <3 creamy soups in the fall. I always pair mine up with some bread to sop up all of the deliciousness with!
Cindy Gordon says
Sounds like a perfect combo!
Kristin says
This looks delicious! How do you get your daiya cheese to melt into a soup? Mine just always ends up being warm shreds of the cheese.
Cindy Gordon says
When I make with daiya cheese, I melt it on a very low heat, just warm enough to melt it and I continually stir. Its very tricky with the daiya. I still have super high hopes that someday soon we will have a dairy free cheese that melts beautifully! Fingers crossed!
Kristin says
Thank you for the tip! I will make sure I stir continually for a more even cheesy sauce. And here is to hoping!!
Cindy Gordon says
On a side note totally unrelated to this recipe, there is a super good dairy free queso here: I love it and by practicing making this, with the stirring, whisking etc it’s helped me to better melt it other times 😉 And it tastes amazing!
Sandy says
That looks so good. Doesn’t look overly rich either.
Cindy Gordon says
Yes, its the perfect level of richness!
Debbi Wellenstein says
This soup looks delicious. One of my mom’s homemade rolls would be so good with it!
Cindy Gordon says
Thanks Debbie, a roll to dunk into the soup would be perfect!
Kathy says
Gluten free garlic bread with cheese is delicious with soup!
Cindy Gordon says
That sounds awesome to me!
Tari Lawson says
I would pair it with a corned beef sandwich to make it a meal.
Cindy Gordon says
Would make a great meal!
Sara says
This begs for a little cornbread to make it a meal!
Cindy Gordon says
Agreed cornbread would be great!
thespeckledpalate says
This sounds fantastic, and I’d totally pair it with some cornbread or some kind of crusty bread I could dip into the soup!
Cindy Gordon says
Oh that sounds like the perfect pairing!!
Stacie says
That looks so creamy and hearty. It’s the perfect soup for the winter! I can’t wait to make this.
Cindy says
Yes, perfect for winter!
Theresa says
This soup looks like it would hit the spot on a cold winter night. I love corn and potatoes, so this is definitely going on my must make list!
Cindy says
Comfort soup all the way!
Annemarie LeBlanc says
I make creamy potato soup almost every week, but this recipe with corn looks good too. I will include this in our menu plan for next week. I am sure this will be another winner.
Cindy says
Thanks! Enjoy!
Kiwi says
My dad loves making soup over the last year. I need to show him this recipe!
