Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup almond milk
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chives for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 4 large potatoes, 1 onion, 4 cups of vegetable broth, 1 cup of almond milk, 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast, salt, pepper, and chives for garnish.
- Peel the potatoes and dice them into small, even cubes to ensure they cook evenly. Chop the onion finely.
- In a large pot, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
- Once the onion is ready, add the diced potatoes to the pot. Stir well to combine with the onions.
- Pour in the 4 cups of vegetable broth, ensuring the potatoes are fully submerged. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let the soup simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
- After the potatoes are cooked, remove the pot from the heat. Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth and creamy. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender. Be cautious with hot liquids.
- Once blended, return the soup to the pot (if using a regular blender) and stir in 1 cup of almond milk and 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast. Mix well to combine.
- Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can add more almond milk or vegetable broth until you reach your desired thickness.
- Let the soup simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat through, stirring occasionally.
- Once ready, ladle the Golden Bliss Potato Soup into bowls. Garnish with freshly chopped chives for a pop of color and added flavor.
- Serve hot and enjoy your comforting bowl of Golden Bliss Potato Soup!
Tips
- Potato Perfection: Choose starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for the creamiest texture.
- Blending Technique: Use an immersion blender for the smoothest consistency and easier cleanup.
- Flavor Enhancement: Toast the nutritional yeast slightly before adding to intensify its nutty flavor.
- Consistency Control: If the soup is too thick, gradually add more vegetable broth or almond milk.
- Garnish Generously: Fresh chives, a sprinkle of black pepper, or even crispy vegan croutons can elevate the presentation.
- Make Ahead: This soup tastes even better the next day, so don't hesitate to prepare it in advance.
- Storage Tip: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 4 days, reheating gently to maintain its creamy texture.
