In a dutch oven or large soup pot, add vegetable stock (6 cups) and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add corn kernels (5 cups) and cook for 15 minutes while prepping other ingredients. Remove corn and stock, reserving stock.

With corn still in the pot over medium heat, add vegan butter (2 tbsp), old bay seasoning (1.5 tsp), smoked paprika (1.5 tsp), red pepper flakes (0.5 tsp) (optional), dried thyme (0.5 tsp), dried chives (0.5 tsp), garlic powder (0.25 tsp), celery salt (0.25 tsp), coriander (0.25 tsp), and leaf (1 bay). Stir until corn gets some brown bits.

Add onion (1 sweet) (diced) and garlic (3 cloves) (minced) and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes. Stir in yukon gold potato (1 lb) (cubed), celery (1 stalk) (chopped), bell pepper (1 red) (diced), carrot (1) (diced), and sun dried tomatoes (0.25 cup) (chopped) for 2-3 minutes.
4

Return the reserved [vegetable stock] to the pot, ensuring all ingredients are covered (add up to vegetable stock (1 cup) more if needed). Reduce heat to simmer and cook for 20-25 minutes.
