A comforting and hearty vegan potato soup that is perfect for a cozy meal. This creamy soup is loaded with vegetables and seasoned with fragrant herbs, creating a delicious and satisfying dish.

Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1 onion diced
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 stalks celery or 1/2 small celery root, diced (see notes)
  • 2 medium carrots diced
  • 2 pounds (900 g) potatoes chopped
  • ½ tsp dried marjoram (see notes)
  • 1 Pinch of nutmeg
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 cups (1000 ml) vegetable broth or water
  • 2 whole bay leaves (optional)
  • ⅓ cup (80 g) dairy-free cream (see notes)
  • Fresh parsley to garnish
  • Vegan sausage sliced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat and add the onion. Sauté for 3 minutes, then add garlic, celery, carrots, potatoes, and all spices. Sauté for a further one minute.
  2. Pour in the vegetable broth + bay leaves (if using) and bring the soup to a boil.
  3. Let the soup simmer for about 20 minutes or until the vegetables are softened.
  4. Pour about half of the soup into a different pot. Take out the bay leaves (if used).
  5. Blend this part using an immersion blender until smooth. You can also blend the soup in a regular blender. Make sure to work in batches and not to overfill the blender.
  6. Pour the blended soup back into the large pot, add the dairy-free cream or canned coconut milk and stir to combine. Let simmer for a few more minutes, taste it, and adjust seasonings. Add more salt/pepper to taste and red pepper flakes for heat.
  7. Serve in bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and top with slices of vegan sausage (optional). Enjoy!

Notes

  • Celery: In Germany, it’s traditional to use celeriac (celery root). However, if you can’t find it, you can use celery stalks (ribs).
  • Marjoram: I really recommend adding it as it adds a wonderful flavor to this soup. If you don’t have it, you can add a little thyme and/or rosemary instead.
  • Cream: You can use any dairy-free cream (soy cream, oat cream, cashew cream, or canned coconut milk). Use plant-based milk for a low-fat version.
  • You can add other veggies such as leek, broccoli, asparagus, etc.
  • I recommend using all-purpose potatoes like Yukon Gold.
  • If you want to have a creamy soup, then blend all of it until completely smooth (you’ll need to add more broth).
