This vegan slow cooker potato corn soup is an easy and deceptively healthy. Easy to prep ahead and re-heat for easy lunches.

This slow cooker potato corn soup is an easy and deceptively healthy recipe that gets a boost of creaminess from Almond Breeze almond beverage, and a touch of heat from jalapenos! Only 160 calories/bowl!

Sometimes I think I would love to live on the equator where I never have to deal with the Canadian winter, where the palm trees are abundant and I'd never have to wear my coat.

But then I think of how much I'd miss the changing seasons. Don't you love this time of year? The winter is officially over, the days are longer, the temperatures are rising ever so slightly and you get that 'feeling'.

The optimistic feeling where you still have the entire spring and summer ahead of you and the possibilities are endless. You know what I mean?

While I haven't sorted our spring or summer plans yet (at all!) I am loving the change in seasons for the change in produce and the shift from comfort foods to lighter meals.

And today's slow cooker potato corn soup recipe is actually kind of a 'bridge' between the heavy winter foods, and a lighter spring recipe. Since it's a soup, it will still warm you right up, but since it's healthy, you won't feel heavy at all.

Today's recipe is brought to you in partnership with Almond Breeze, which is a wonderful milk and dairy alternative. Using Almond Breeze almond beverage in this recipe adds a boost of creaminess, with a fraction of the calories. You still get a healthy serving of calcium and vitamin D (and let's face it, we can use all the vitamin D we can get after the winter, right?). And you can find Almond Breeze products right in the refrigerated section of the grocery store!

I have a sneaky trick up my sleeve to make this slow cooker potato corn soup extra creamy without actually adding cream. After cooking up the soup ingredients, I removed the majority of the potatoes, and mashed them up with the Almond Breeze before returning them to the soup.

This way the soup ends up quite hearty in texture, but not actually in calories.

I just loved this slow cooker potato corn soup:  It has some sweetness from the corn and a touch of spice from the jalapeños. It is very thick and chunky, but we also enjoyed a soupier version (we added 2 extra cups of stock to the slow cooker, see note).

It is SO easy to make: just dump everything in the slow cooker and you can walk away for 6-8 hours.

It is healthy, but totally feels like you are eating something more indulgent.

And because I used Almond Breeze almond beverage, it is dairy-free and vegan.

What do you think? Is spring off to a great start, or what?

      I use Campbell's! For this soup I used chicken stock, but you can definitely use vegetable stock for a vegan/vegetarian recipe!

    I tried this recipe tonight and it turned out nothing like your pic - instead it was watery and the potatoes had not even fallen apart. In the end I couldn't even taste the spice of the jalapeños. It ended up tasting like a can of corn. What did I do wrong? I am embarrassed to have messed up such an easy recipe. Please help!

    This was very tasty. I added some white beans for protein and it turned out great. I think I'll use more jalapeños next time though because I like my mouth to be halfway on fire. ?

    Never did I think a vegan recipe could come out so rich and satisfying! My husband has issues with dairy, and I've had this pinned for forever, so we tried last night. It is the PERFECT fall chowder! I added a little extra oregano, garlic and cumin at the end, and crisped up bacon and cheese for the non-vegan and it was a total hit. Thanks for a great recipe that is definitely being added to the arsenal:)

    The pictures show green onions instead of chives. Did you use green onions here? I would think some chopped green onions added with the lime would work well.

      Hi Dave, you are correct, I probably interchange those two ingredients a little too freely. Either works in this recipe!

    This soup is so delicious! I'm suffering from a bad cold in the early fall and this soup hit the spot! Warm and cozy. The perfect combo of hearty but no cream which only makes me feel more crummy. This will be a go to soup both when I'm feeling well and sick. That jalapeño gives it a great kick! A+ receipe!

    Making this now for a get together tonight... If I make it without the peppers my son would love it, but it just wouldn't be the same! If only I could get him to like peppers! Any peppers... Oddly enough, he LOVES my fresh salsa (a mix of fresh tomatoes, jalapenos, garlic, and a few other spices---it's always a little different) and yet he despises both tomatoes and all peppers. Anyway, thanks for the recipe. I'm always looking for something new... 🙂

      Hi Bryant! I hope you liked it. My son is pretty picky about his veggies too, although for some reason bell peppers are one of his 'acceptable veggies' (won't go so far as to say he likes them, ha ha!)

      I'm allergic to almonds but want to avoid cows milk. Think coconut milk will change the taste too much?

        Hi Molly! I think coconut milk would be really nice in this soup...you will probably get a bit of coconut flavor but that would go well with the other flavors 🙂 Hope you enjoy it!

      Hi Rachel, I'm SO sorry for my belated reply (we've been on holidays!) I can't say for sure about cutting it in half and cooking time in a larger slow cooker. I did make a half batch in my small (2.5 quart) crockpot on high for 4 hours and it turned out fine. I would probably aim for the lower temperature if you're going to keep it in a large slow cooker. I'm sorry, I'm not sure if that helped at all. Let me know if you try it!

    Some of my favorite Summery things are in this soup, Denise! Love the jalapenos, corn and the creaminess of the almond milk. Too - that it's slow cooked FTW! I'm a soup hound year round.. even in summer! So this will suit me just fine when the local corn comes in. Delicious my dear!
