Ingredients
UnitsScale
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
4cups peeled and diced potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet)
2 carrots, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
4cups vegetable broth
1cup unsweetened plant-based milk (such as almond or oat milk)
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast (optional for cheesy flavor)
Fresh chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add garlic, carrots, and celery. Cook for another 5 minutes until softened.
Add the diced potatoes, vegetable broth, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
Use an immersion blender to blend part of the soup for a creamy texture, or transfer half of the soup to a blender and puree, then return to the pot.
Stir in the plant-based milk and nutritional yeast (if using). Simmer for another 5 minutes to heat through.
Adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.
Notes
Use Yukon Gold potatoes for a naturally creamy texture.
Add more broth if the soup becomes too thick.
Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 4 days.
