This creamy vegan potato soup is hearty, comforting, and packed with tender potatoes, vegetables, and savory flavor. It’s easy to make in one pot and perfect for a cozy meal.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons vegan butter or olive oil
  • 2 medium onions, chopped finely
  • 2 ribs celery, diced
  • 2 large carrots, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped finely
  • 2 teaspoons salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, plus more to taste
  • 4 tablespoons all purpose flour or gluten-free all purpose flour
  • 2 cups unsweetened unflavoured dairy-free milk
  • 2 1/2 to 3 cups vegetable stock, divided
  • 6 medium potatoes, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 bay leaf

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan over medium heat, warm the vegan butter or olive oil. Add the onions, celery, and carrots and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions begin to turn lightly golden. Add the garlic and cook for 2 more minutes.
  2. Add the salt, pepper, and flour. Stir continuously for about 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste.
  3. Slowly pour in the dairy-free milk while stirring to prevent lumps. Add the vegetable stock, reserving about 1/2 cup for later if needed. Stir in the potatoes, nutmeg, and bay leaf.
  4. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft and beginning to break down.
  5. For a thicker soup, blend part of the soup with an immersion blender or mash some of the potatoes with a potato masher. For a thinner consistency, stir in the reserved vegetable stock.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Use Yukon Gold or red potatoes for the creamiest texture.
  • For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free all purpose flour.
  • The soup thickens as it cools, so add extra broth when reheating if desired.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Top with fresh herbs, vegan bacon, croutons, or dairy-free cheese for extra flavor.
