Easy Vegan Potato Soup
It’s finally soup season and this easy vegan potato soup is so comforting, creamy, and cozy. When the weather cools down, I just crave something warm and delicious. This super simple potato soup comes together in less than 30 minutes and just hits the spot.
I always love an easy meal, especially as a busy mom! You basically just throw all the ingredients into the pot and let it simmer away. Then you add part of it to the blender with some soaked cashews to get the creamiest soup. You can blend half of the soup or the entire thing depending if you want some texture or not in your soup. The cashews really take it to the next level of creaminess.
This easy vegan potato soup is nourishing and packed with flavor. Serve it alongside some crusty bread or as a side dish. It’s the perfect weeknight meal that your whole family will love. It’s also vegan and gluten-free too! Be sure to tag me @nutsaboutgreens on social media if you make this! I would love to see your creations!
Easy Vegan Potato Soup
Ingredients
- 1-2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 large sweet onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 golden potatoes, chopped into small chunks
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and diced
- 1 heaping cup frozen corn
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
- cracked black pepper to taste
- 4 1/2 cups vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup raw cashews, soaked in hot water for an hour
- optional 1-2 Tbsp nutritional yeast for cheesy flavor
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the oil on medium high heat. Add the onions and saute until translucent. Add the garlic and saute for 30 seconds more. Then add the potatoes, carrots, corn, salt, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, rosemary, and black pepper. Saute for another 2-3 minutes.
- Pour in vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Lower heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes or until vegetables are soft and fork tender.
- Once vegetables are softened, drain the cashews and add it to your blender. Add about half of your soup (or however much you want depending how chunky or smooth you like your soup) to the blender and optional nutritional yeast and blend on high for 30-45 seconds, or until nice and creamy.
- Pour soup from the blender back into the pot and stir until everything is combined. Taste and adjust seasonings, like salt and pepper if needed. Enjoy!
