This Vegan Potato Soup is loaded with russet potatoes, full-fat coconut milk, spices, and more. It’s thick, creamy, and packed with veggies!
This soup is a hearty, stick-to-your-ribs kinda soup, but guess what? It’s vegan and absolutely PACKED with veggies. This is a “best of both worlds” soup and I’m loving it!
Ingredients
These every day ingredients make a rich, hearty, yet healthy, flavor packed soup that’s loved by all!
- Olive Oil – used for sautéing our mirepoix. Feel free to use your favorite variety of oil, such as coconut or avocado instead.
- Celery, Carrot, and Yellow Onion – the classic soup veggie blend aka a “mirepoix”. Adds texture, flavor, and nutrients.
- Garlic – gives that subtle nuttiness to round out the flavors in the soup.
- Salt, Pepper, and Smoked Paprika – this simple trio of seasonings adds the perfect amount of smoky, sweet, spicy flavor. You can use regular paprika, if desired, but I love the subtle smokiness from the smoked paprika that’s often found in potato soups by using bacon.
- All-Purpose Flour – helps to thicken the soup for a rich, creamy, and thick texture.
- Vegetable Stock and Coconut Milk – the base for the soup. The veggie stock adds flavor while the full-fat coconut milk makes it ultra creamy.
- Soy Sauce – gives the soup tangy, salty flavor to cut the sweetness of the coconut milk.
- Russet Potatoes – the MVP of this potato soup. The potato chunks are simmered in the broth for a delicious fluffy texture but also help thicken the soup when blended.
How to make
This delicious vegan dinner takes 15 minutes to prep!
- Heat oil in a large stockpot, then add in celery, carrots, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika then cook until the celery and carrots are tender.
- Sprinkle on flour and cook then whisk in veggie stock, coconut milk, soy sauce, and potatoes. Simmer until the potatoes are tender.
- Remove 2 cups of the soup and blend in a high-powered blender.
- Mix back into the stockpot, then serve and enjoy!
How to thicken
This potato soup is already pretty thick but if you like an even thicker soup, simply blend more soup. I like blending two cups of the soup, because it creates a thick base, but still maintains plenty of yummy potato and veggie chunks! If you want to blend more or all of the soup, feel free!
How to make vegan soup creamy
This vegan soup is already very creamy thanks to full-fat coconut milk and the process of blending some of the soup in a high powered blender. If you’d like the soup to be even creamier:
- Blend more of the soup.
- Stir in room temperature vegan cream cheese.
What to serve with vegan potato soup
I love serving this vegan potato soup with some sort of bread, sandwich, and/or salad!
- Dinner Rolls
- Roasted Vegetables
- Baked Sweet Potato Fries
- Cornbread
- Leafy green salad with red wine vinaigrette
How to store
Leftover vegan potato soup will last in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
To reheat, thaw in the fridge if frozen then microwave or heat on the stove until warmed through.
