Description
A creamy, comforting plant-based potato soup made without dairy—rich, flavorful, and perfect for cozy meals.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 cups diced potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet)
- 1 carrot, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup unsweetened plant-based milk (e.g., oat or almond)
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- ½ tsp dried rosemary (optional)
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- Optional toppings: chopped green onions, fresh parsley, vegan cheddar shreds, crispy chickpeas
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in potatoes, carrot, and celery. Cook for 2–3 minutes.
- Pour in vegetable broth. Add thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 15–20 minutes.
- Stir in the plant-based milk.
- Using an immersion blender, blend soup until creamy, leaving some chunks for texture. Or blend 1–2 cups in a blender and return to pot.
- Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Serve hot and garnish with vegan cheddar shreds, green onions, parsley, or crispy chickpeas.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of plant milk if needed.
Notes
- Use russet potatoes for a fluffier texture or Yukon Golds for a smoother soup.
- For extra creaminess, add half a cup of raw cashews when blending.
- Add a pinch of smoked paprika or a drizzle of truffle oil for a flavor twist.
- Make it heartier by stirring in cooked white beans or corn.
- Freeze leftover soup in portions; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
