[feast_advanced_jump_to]

When the sun is blazing and turning on the stove feels like a chore, this Tomato Corn Gazpacho comes to the rescue. It's a no-cook, flavor-packed soup that brings together two of summer's superstars: juicy tomatoes and sweet corn.

The addition of fresh herbs and a hint of spice elevates this dish, making it a standout at any gathering or a simple weeknight meal.

This Tomato Corn Gazpacho Is...

  • Quick and Easy: Ready in just 20 minutes, plus chilling time.
  • No-Cook: Perfect for keeping the kitchen cool during hot days.
  • Vegan and Gluten-Free!
  • Flavorful: A delightful blend of sweet, tangy, and spicy notes.
  • Make-Ahead Friendly: Flavors deepen as it chills, making it ideal for meal prep.

Helpful Tips for the Best Gazpacho

Use Peak-Season Produce: The quality of the tomatoes and corn directly impacts the flavor. Opt for the freshest available.

Use Fresh Corn: The fresh corn give the soup a natural sweetness and crunch. If fresh corn isn't available, you can use frozen corn that has been thawed. But the texture may not be as pleasing.

Chill Thoroughly: Allowing the gazpacho to chill for at least an hour enhances the flavors and provides a refreshing experience.

Variations to Try

Add a Spicy Kick: Add a diced jalapeño or a dash of hot sauce for heat.

Creamy Version: Stir in a dollop of vegan yogurt or cashew cream for a richer texture.

Tropical Twist: Incorporate diced mango or pineapple for a sweet contrast.

Herb Infusion: Experiment with different herbs like cilantro or mint for a unique flavor profile.

Crunchy Toppings: Top with toasted pumpkin seeds or croutons for added texture.

Ingredients

  • 6 medium ears fresh sweet corn
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 large onions chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 medium potatoes peeled and diced
  • 2 cups chopped watercress leaves and stems
  • 2 cups rice milk or as needed
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves or more to taste
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Cook the corn in plenty of rapidly simmering water until the kernels are just tender, then remove the corn with tongs and reserve the cooking water. When the corn is cool enough to handle, scrape the kernels off the cobs with a sharp knife. Set the kernels aside.
  • Heat the oil in a soup pot. Add the onions and garlic and sauté over medium-low heat until golden.
  • Add the potatoes and 4 cups of the cooking liquid from the corn, and bring to a rapid simmer, then lower the heat. Cover and simmer gently for 10 minutes. Add half of the watercress. Simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes longer, then remove from the heat.
  • Set aside a cup of the corn kernels and add the rest to the soup. With a slotted spoon, transfer the solid ingredients from the soup to the food processor or blender and puree until smooth, then return to the soup pot. Or, simply insert an immersion blender and puree until smooth.
  • Add the reserved corn kernels and watercress along with enough rice milk to give the soup a slightly thick consistency. Season with salt and pepper. Let the soup cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled. Top each serving with a sprinkling of oregano leaves.

Homemade Soft Corn Tortillas

June 8, 2020 by Nicole @ VegKitchen 9 Comments

Corn tortillas recipe

If you can lift a bag of masa harina, you can make homemade corn tortillas and enjoy soft, toasty, corny goodness tonight! Homemade tortillas are best kept simple with basic toppings such as a strip of grilled tempeh or a spoonful of guacamole. Or serve with beans or a hearty Mexican posole. The key is to keep fresh-off-the-grill tortillas well covered to keep them warm and pliable until it’s time to eat. This recipe isn’t really too different from what’s on the bag of masa, but I see it as a way to inspire making homemade tortillas in the event you’ve never tried! Delicious with chili and other Southwestern stews, such as Quick Red Posole with Beans. Recipe from Viva Vegan!: 200 Authentic and Fabulous Recipes for Latin Food Lovers* by Terry Hope Romero.

Flavored Popcorn Recipes and Ideas

October 29, 2018 by Nicole @ VegKitchen 13 Comments

Caramel popcorn

Here are flavoring ideas for embellishing freshly made popcorn. These recipes make enough to flavor a 10-cup batch (from about ½ cup kernels). If you air-pop or use fat-free microwave popcorn, you might like to drizzle 2 tablespoons or so of melted Earth Balance or coconut oil into the popcorn just before adding the seasonings. My favorite way to pop corn is in an Old Fashioned Popcorn Popper like the one made by Jacob Bromwell. Very low-tech, but it seems to bring out the best flavor from the popcorn. I like to start with 2 tablespoons or so safflower or organic virgin coconut oil per ½ cup of kernels. [Read more...]

Vegetarian Chili with Corn and Soy Beans FAQs

Can I freeze vegetarian chili?

Yes, you can store your vegetarian chili for up to 3 months in the freezer. I like to store mine in single servings so I can easily reheat only the amount I need to eat. When you're ready to eat your chili again, simply reheat it in the microwave or on the stove until deliciously warm.

How can I use up leftover vegetarian chili?

You can serve this chili as a garnish on fries, on nachos, on a baked potato, on a veggie dog, on mac & cheese, or even in a sloppy joe! The possibilities are endless when you have a creative imagination.

Potato and Grilled Corn Salad with Fresh Dill

June 12, 2014 by Nicole @ VegKitchen 1 Comment

When summer is in full swing, it means picnics, family bike rides, BBQs, and lots of dinners on the patio. A popular summer salad which I was never really able to get behind is the traditional potato salad. I just find it too heavy with mayo and much too creamy for my liking. I do, however, love the idea of grilled corn, fresh dill, and tangy mustard in my potato salad, and that’s just what I did to recreate this classic dish. This recipe makes for excellent leftovers, and it’s so easy to whip up to bring along to a lunch or dinner party. It won’t leave anyone feeling weighed down by heavy mayo, and you can proudly say it’s vegan! Recipe and photos contributed by Sophia Zergiotis of Love and Lentils.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup cornmeal yellow or blue
  • 1 tablespoon sesame or corn or other vegetable oil
  • ½ cup spring water
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ cup whole wheat bread flour

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, thoroughly mix the cornmeal and oil.
  • Heat the water to boiling; add the salt and pour over the cornmeal. Wait a few minutes, until the cornmeal has absorbed the water and has cooled to lukewarm.
  • Stir in the flour to form a dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board.
  • Wash the bowl and lightly grease it.
  • Thoroughly knead the dough, lightly sprinkling flour under it only as necessary to keep it from sticking. When it is smooth and resilient, form a ball and place it in the bowl.
  • Cover with a damp towel and plate, and set it aside for at least 30 minutes, but preferably for several hours or overnight.
  • Divide the dough into six equal pieces, form balls, and cover them. On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a 10-inch circle. Stack the tortillas between waxed paper and cover.
  • Cook tortillas on a hot griddle for about 20 seconds on each side, until lightly browned but still soft and pliable.
  • Wrap them in a towel and serve warm.
