Potato Soup Without Milk
Let's talk about the ingredients you're going to need to make the best ever potato soup at home!
- Potatoes
- Celery
- Carrots
- Onion
- Veggie broth
- Vegan butter
- Flour (gluten-free, if needed)
- Dairy free milk
What is the best type of dairy free milk to use for soup?
I prefer using canned coconut milk, as it has a great thick consistency, with no coconut taste! Other great options for non dairy milk are plain and unsweetened oat milk, almond milk, flax milk, and soy milk. Use what you have!
To make vegan gluten free potato soup, ensure your milk is gf friendly.
How to Make Vegan Potato Soup
This vegan potato soup recipe couldn't be simpler!
We're going to start off cooking the veggies down, until the tater is fork tender. After that, we want to drain and reserve the cooking liquid. This will help us achieve that super creamy potato soup texture!
Next, we're going to saute the onion then create a roux by melting the plant based butter and stirring in the flour. To finish the roux, pour in milk of your choice, while continuing to stir.
Pop those cooked veggies from before back into your pot and give everything a big stir. Continue mixing, adding reserved liquid until the soup is as chunky or smooth as your family perefers.
I like to leave some chunks in my potato soup but to make this recipe kid-friendly, add extra reserved water or broth until desired consistency is reached. You can also grab a hand blender, but I don’t think it’s necessary.
Portion potato soup into bowls and enjoy warm, garnished with your favorite toppings!
