Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegan butter
  • 1/2 medium onion (yellow, white, etc.), diced
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled, sliced
  • 1 celery rib, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, diced
  • 4-5 medium yukon or russet potatoes, peeled, cubed
  • 2 cups vegetable broth, low-sodium, (473ml)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
  • 1 1/2 cup plant-based milk, (355ml)
  • 1/2 cup vegan cheddar shreds, (110g)
  • 1/3 cup vegan sour cream, (75g)
  • topping ideas: vegan cheddar, bacon bits, vegan sour cream, chives, etc.

Instructions

  • Melt the vegan butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onions and sauté them for 1-2 minutes until softened. Add the carrots, celery, and garlic. Stir as this cooks for 2-3 minutes and becomes fragrant.
  • Add the potatoes, broth, and seasoning. Cover the pot and lower the heat level to medium. Stir occasionally as it cooks for about 15 minutes, on a gentle boil, until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  • Stir in the plant milk, vegan cheddar shreds, and vegan sour cream. Cook the soup uncovered for 10 more minutes. Stir it occasionally.
  • Mash some of the potatoes for a thicker soup consistency. Enjoy it with your favorite toppings!
