Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes, baked and diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 avocado, diced (optional for garnish)
- Fresh chives, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until they become translucent and aromatic, about 5 minutes.
- Add the diced baked potatoes to the pot, stirring to combine with the onion and garlic.
- Pour in the vegetable broth, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until it reaches your desired consistency. For a chunkier texture, blend lightly. For a smoother soup, blend thoroughly.
- Stir in the coconut milk and nutritional yeast, then season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through.
- Ladle the soup into vibrant green bowls and garnish with diced avocado and chopped chives, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
Helpful Tips
- Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare the soup a day in advance and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat on the stovetop before serving.
- Ingredient Substitution: Swap coconut milk with almond milk for a different flavor profile, or use cashew cream for an extra creamy texture.
- Variations: Add in some steamed broccoli or cauliflower for added nutrients and texture.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
Pairings
