Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 avocado, sliced (for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast (for garnish)
- Fresh herbs (parsley or chives), finely chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until they soften and become fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Add the diced potatoes and dried thyme, stirring to combine.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Remove the pot from the heat and, using an immersion blender, blend until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup to a blender and blend in batches.
- Return the pot to the stove and stir in the almond milk. Heat gently until warmed through, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with slices of avocado, a sprinkle of nutritional yeast, and fresh herbs.
Helpful Tips
- If you’re new to plant-based milks, start with almond or oat milk for a neutral flavor that enhances the soup’s creaminess.
- Add a pinch of smoked paprika for a smoky depth to the soup.
- For a thicker consistency, reduce the amount of vegetable broth slightly.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove before serving.
Pairings
This nourishing soup pairs beautifully with a rustic bread basket filled with whole grain or sourdough bread. For a beverage, a hot cup of herbal tea or a glass of crisp white wine complements the soup’s creamy texture perfectly.
