    Ingredients for Easy Vegan Potato Soup Recipe

    Simple, plant-based, low cost ingredients: potatoes, carrots, onion, cauliflower, green peas and spices to cook creamy immunity boosting homemade soup.

    You can make this seasonal soup with a few low-cost ingredients you probably have in your pantry or fridge. We'll achieve that silky texture without coconut milk, dairy, or flour. Here is what you'll need:

    • Potatoes (for that vibrant gold color and rich buttery taste)
    • Cauliflower (will give us that extra creaminess and silky texture together with potatoes)
    • Carrots (for a vitamin A boost)
    • Green peas (another great immunity builder)
    • Yellow onion (so common yet so vital ingredient that gives such a pleasant flavor)
    • Garlic (gives us that beautiful savory aroma)
    • Olive oil (we want only healthy monounsaturated fats, right?)
    • Spices: salt, turmeric powder, ground cumin, onion powder, freshly ground black pepper (esencial for enhancing the taste of all ingredients used)
    • Bay leaves (will add another level of flavor and slightly lighten-up our stew)
    • Water (we don't need vegetable stock or broth to make this soup soo tasty)

    Time needed: 40 minutes.

    How to Make Vegan Potato Soup Recipe (step by step instructions)

    You'll need 40 minutes to cook this spicy golden soup. In fact, you'll be involved in the actual cooking process for only 20 minutes, to prepare and sauté the vegetables. For the rest of 20 minutes, the soup will stay simmering on the stovetop, so you can rest or do the other household chores you need to do.

    1. Sauté onions and garlic

      First, start by heating a large pot over medium heat. Add olive oil and diced onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently until onion is fragrant and translucent. Add finely chopped garlic and sauté until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (be careful, garlic burns quickly).

    2. Add veggies

      Next, add carrots, cauliflower florets, potatoes, and stir well. Cook for1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, allowing the vegetables to release their fragrances. Be careful not to let them burn.
      Add green peas, spices, and bay leaves except for turmeric powder. Pour in the water, stir to combine, bring to boil, reduce the heat, cover partially, and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
      In the end, when you turn off the heat, add turmeric powder. We want to add it last because the curcumin compound will degrade greatly when boiled.

    3. Blend it

      Remove bay leaves, taste, and adjust seasonings as needed. I prefer this soup half chunky-half creamy, that's why I recommend you blend about 3 cups of it in a blender or food processor. But first, make sure you allow it to cool down before transferring and blending (see complete instructions in the "note section" in the recipe card at the end of the post).

    4. Serve and enjoy

      It's best to enjoy it warm and fresh as a side, starter, brunch, appetizer, or as a main course for lunch or dinner. Optionally, you can stir in a handful of fresh parsley or spinach leaves while still warm (a great source of iron).
      Serve with your favorite topping and enjoy it.
      Store cooled leftovers for up to 3 days in the refrigerator or in the freezer for up to 1 month. Reheat on the stovetop, adding a little water to prevent sticking.

    What can I put on top of my soup?

    Here are some ideas to use as a topping for this creamy veggie-loaded soup:
    1. Chopped parsley, green onions, chives, or dill
    2. Crunchy croutons
    3. Dust of smoked paprika or pepper
    4. Grated vegan cheese
    5. Vegan sour cream or yogurt
    6. Toasted sesame seeds
    7. Lemon or lime
    8. Stir in a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar

    How do you blend soup without a blender?

    You don't need a blender to make this soup perfectly creamy. You can use a potato masher or ricer to achieve the same results as a blender. After cooking the vegetables until soft, mash them directly in the pot to obtain the desired thickness (yes, no flour, no cream needed).

    Notes

    1. Try to chop potatoes and carrots pieces about the same size so they can cook evenly. I like to chop mine very small, about ½ inch each piece thus reducing the cooking time.
    2. Never put hot liquids in your blender because it may create enough pressure to “blow” the lid off the top thus making a big mess in the kitchen. 
      Alternatively, use a potato masher to mash a part of the mixture but still keep some of its texture.
      If you have an immersion blender, quickly purée part of the soup until soft and creamy.
      You can totally control the consistency of this easy vegan soup depending on the amount you'll blend it at the end.
    3. I highly recommend you to purre only 2-3 cups of the soup (as written in the instruction fields above) instead of pureeing it all, because this will give you an amazing chunky texture blended in a smooth and silky mixture.
    4. If your soup is too thick to your liking simply stir in more water or dairy-free milk and reheat.
    5. Store cooled leftovers in a sealed container or in individual containers as an easy grab-and-go meal. Keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month. Reheat on the stovetop over medium heat, adding a little water to prevent sticking.
