Who doesn't like a warm, creamy bowl of vegan corn chowder?! It's easy enough to whip up, just remember to get your cashews soaking the night before. And if you don't want to deal with fresh corn, frozen works nicely too. Just figure 1 ear of corn is about ½ cup. If you have a Trader Joe's nearby, check out the roasted corn in the frozen section. If I'm going frozen, I'll use half regular, half roasted. Adds some extra smoky flavor.
