Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add finely chopped onion and celery stick, crushed garlic and smoked paprika. Cook for 6 min stirring often. Add peeled and cubed potato, deseeded and chopped chilli, and flour. Stir everything and cook for further 3 min.
Pour in the almond milk, it should cover the potatoes, if not add water as much as necessary. Continue to cook over medium heat for about 15 min.
Once potatoes are cooked add corn and stir through. Blitz half of the soup with a hand blender or use potato masher if you don’t have one.
You can add more almond milk to your desired consistency (optional step). If so, let it cook for a few more minutes.
Serve with some chopped chives sprinkled on top and crunchy bread on the side.
