If you are in need of an easy and delicious recipe, then this Vegan Potato Soup is totally for you! This recipe is silky in flavor, and it has the most savory notes you could ever ask for.

Two bowls of vegan potato soup with golden spoon.

Why This Soup Is So Good

  • This Vegan Potato Soup is so amazing because of how simple it is!
  • This soup has the most amazing silky-garlicky flavors, ever.
  • Thanks to the potatoes, you have a soup that has chunky and tender flavors.

How To Make It

  1. Finely chop onions and garlic. Peel the skins off the potatoes. In a large saucepan, saute onions and garlic in avocado oil or other neutral oil until translucent in color.
  2. Cut potatoes into cubes. Transfer to pan and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Blend cashews and almond milk in blender until smooth.
  4. Add vegetable broth and cashew mixture into pan with potatoes. Simmer covered for 15 minutes or until potatoes reach tender consistency. You can check the tenderness by inserting a fork in potato.
  5. With a potato masher, mash potatoes until you reach the desired consistency. Add more broth if needed. We like our potato soup to be a bit chunky, but smooth.
  6. Serve potato soup in bowls. Garnish with green onions, chives, and or olive oil.

Serving Suggestions

You can serve this soup with all kinds of things! This soup would be perfect as a side to a salad, sandwich, or just by itself! This soup would even be great dip with crackers or bread.

Why do I have to use cashews in this recipe?

Cashews are used simply for thickening the textures of sauces, soups, and other dishes. Not only do they make sauces more creamy and thick, but they add a little extra protein in the recipes, too! We think cashews are great to use rather than sour cream, heavy cream, or yogurt.

Chef’s Tips

  • Make sure your potatoes are fully boiled.
  • It’s okay if you do not have brewers or nutritional yeast, and no, you cannot use active dry yeast that is used in breads!
  • We thought blending the potatoes in the blender made the soup a bit too soupy, but you can totally go that route!
