Corn and Potato Chowder

I love chowder, but I don't like seafood (with the exception of salmon, halibut, and shrimp), so here's a nice vegetarian chowder (that can be vegan if you want). Also, if you see "salt" listed, you can assume I mean "salt and pepper". I just don't like pepper very much.

Ingredients:
Potatoes
Chopped celery
Chopped carrots
Frozen corn
Onion
Water
Basil
Cumin
Salt and pepper
Paprika
Bay leaf
Garlic powder
Sour cream or coconut milk

Cut 2-3 potatoes into small chunks (you can leave the skin on). Chop one onion, and throw the carrots, celery, onion, and potato into a medium saucepan with about two handfuls of frozen corn. Add enough water to almost fill the pot. Add one bay leaf, and other spices to taste. Simmer over medium heat until the potatoes are soft and the onions are translucent. Turn the heat down very low and add about 1/2 cup of sour cream or coconut. Cook for about a minute more. It'll be sort of pink from the paprika. Top with crumbled bacon if desired.
