Recipe Summary

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup carrots, diced
• 1 cup celery, diced
• 1 cup veggie crumbles (plant-based ground meat substitute)
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 2 cups potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups vegan shredded cheese
• 1 cup plant-based milk
• 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
• 1/2 cup vegan bacon bits
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and fragrant.
2. Add the veggie crumbles to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Pour in the vegetable broth and add the diced potatoes, tomato paste, smoked paprika, dried oregano, ground black pepper, and salt. Stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
4. Stir in the vegan shredded cheese, plant-based milk, and nutritional yeast. Continue to cook until the cheese has melted and the soup is creamy and thick.
5. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup to your desired consistency. For a chunkier texture, blend only a portion of the soup.
6. Serve the soup hot, garnished with vegan bacon bits and fresh parsley.

Helpful Tips

• For a heartier soup, add extra veggies such as bell peppers or corn.
• If you prefer a completely smooth soup, blend it entirely until it’s creamy.
• Short on time? Use pre-chopped veggies available at the store.

Storage Instructions

Store the Vegetarian Cheeseburger Soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm it on the stove over low heat, stirring occasionally until hot. You can also freeze the soup for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.

Ingredient Substitutions

• Use any plant-based milk you prefer, such as almond, soy, or oat milk.
• If vegan cheese is hard to find, you can substitute with a dairy-free cheese sauce of your choice.

Pairings

This Vegetarian Cheeseburger Soup pairs wonderfully with a fresh, crisp salad and a slice of warm, crusty bread. For drinks, consider a glass of your favorite herbal iced tea or a refreshing sparkling water with lemon.
