How to Prepare Fresh Summer Corn Chowder [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

In a heavy-bottomed two-quart pot, heat a few tablespoons of the vegetable broth until simmering. Add garlic and sauté until translucent. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant. (If the broth evaporates, add more a little at a time.)
Add the potatoes, paprika, cumin, and chili pepper, and all of the broth. Put on a lid and bring to a simmer. After five minutes, add the carrots, and cook for another five minutes.
Meanwhile, in a food processor or blender, purée 1 cup of the fresh corn.
Back in the pot, test the potatoes and carrots to make sure they’re tender. (If not, cook a little longer.)
Add the corn and corn purée and stir until combined, then return to a simmer. Taste for salt and pepper, and serve.
Optional: garnish with toppings
