Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by peeling and chopping the russet and sweet potatoes into 1-inch chunks. Add the cut potatoes to a 6-quart slow cooker.
  2. Finely chop the onion and roughly chop the garlic, then add them to the slow cooker with the potatoes. Incorporate the 2 cups of corn kernels, kosher salt, and vegetable broth.
  3. Cover your slow cooker and set it to cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 5-6 hours.
  4. Once the cooking time is complete and the potatoes are soft, use an immersion blender to puree the mixture until creamy and smooth.
  5. Stir in the canned coconut milk, white wine vinegar, and the remaining 1 cup of corn.
  6. Ladle the chowder into bowls, garnishing with fresh basil and sliced scallions.
