Vegan Potato Soup

By far the most popular post I’ve ever posted on this site is my (now famous) cheese sauce. The great thing about this recipe is that it uses this popular potato-carrot cheese sauce as the base. Throw in some potatoes, carrots, and other favorite veggies and you’ve got an amazing vegan potato soup!

How to Make

To make this delicious soup, prepare one recipe of Vegan Cheese. Boil together potatoes and carrots. When soft, blend in blender with seasonings. There’s an option to make it with oil for added richness, or a low-fat version that substitutes the oil for nuts. Both are delicious! And of course I’m not biased!

In a separate pot, cook 5-6 (or even more) cups of your favorite vegetables. My favorites are potatoes, carrots, an onion, and celery.

How to Store and Reheat

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This soup can also be frozen.

When ready to reheat, if in a microwave safe container, reheat in 30 second increments until warmed through.

To reheat on the stove, turn stove to medium-low heat. Stir periodically to prevent sticking. Done when thoroughly heated through.

Variations

When you make the cheesy base for this soup, you can make it with oil or without oil (both recipes are listed.) If you choose the no-oil version, you can use almond flour, blanched almonds, or raw unsalted cashews in the recipe.

Instead of the vegetables listed above, you could try spinach, corn, cubed squash, cauliflower, or broccoli. These would all be excellent options as well.

Also, if you love this soup, you’ll want to be sure to check out my Oil-Free Broccoli Cheddar Soup that’s made in a very similar way, just with broccoli instead of other vegetables in it.

Be sure to top with baco bits, sour cream, crackers, and sliced green onions for the full mouthwatering effect!

    Hello would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using?

    I’m going to start my own blog soon but I’m having a difficult time making a decision
    between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The
    reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most
    blogs and I’m looking for something unique. P.S My apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!

      No problem! I would love to start a section on blogging tips and tricks. I use WordPress and I’ve loved it. From my research, it is the easiest one to navigate with great personalization options. It seemed to be an obvious choice for me and it’s worked out great. Thanks!

    I absolutely love your photo. The colors are so vibrant and the soup looks delicious! I do have a silly question though. Is the soup called ‘cheesy’ because it ‘looks’ cheesy? Because I don’t see any cheese in the ingredients?
    Let me know if I’m just missing something! :). Enjoy Christmas with your family by the way!

      Thanks! It’s been fun working on my photography. I should have clarified the cheesiness of this soup. If you check out my vegan cheese post, you will notice that the ingredients in this soup are surprisingly similar to the ingredients in my vegan cheese. Also when you eat this soup you will probably think that it has a cheesy taste to it. Therefore I called it cheesy even though you will not see any cheese added. Did that help?

    Was the recipe supposed to say top with vegan cheese not mayonnaise? I just don’t get what makes this cheesy?

      Haha, good question. Check out my vegan cheese recipe, and you will notice it has super similar ingredients to this soup (it’s a surprising yet delicious recipe.) Therefore this soup is similar to my cheese recipe and that makes it a cheesy soup!

    Well…now I know what I’m having for dinner! Just one question…when you say chicken seasoning, do you mean poultry seasoning or is there something else?

      McKay’s chicken seasoning. Check it out on Amazon. They make one that is vegan and free of MSG!

    I made this for dinner tonight. It was delicious! Thank you for the recipe. I used vegetable boullion powder instead of the chicken seasoning.
