Instructions

Step 1

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent and aromatic.

Step 2

Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic mixture, stirring to form a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 3

Slowly pour in the vegetable broth while stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 4

Add the diced potatoes and thyme to the pot. Let the soup simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.

Step 5

Use an immersion blender or a regular blender to blend the soup until creamy. Be cautious when blending hot liquids; allow the soup to cool slightly if using a regular blender and blend in batches if needed.

Step 6

Return the blended soup to the pot (if using a regular blender) and place it over low heat. Pour in the coconut milk and unsweetened plant-based milk, and stir well to combine. Warm the soup gently, avoiding boiling.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix a tablespoon of flour or cornstarch with a splash of water to create a slurry. Gradually add this slurry to the soup while stirring, allowing the soup to thicken. Continue cooking for a few more minutes to achieve the desired consistency.

Step 8

Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasonings as needed.

Step 9

Once the soup is heated through, creamy, and well-seasoned, it’s ready to be served.

Step 10

Ladle the vegan creamy potato soup into bowls and garnish with optional toppings like chopped chives, dairy-free cheese shreds, or coconut bacon.
