This soup is so delicious I’m adding it to my binder of favorite go to recipes!
Thanks!
This looks delish, but I am vegan allergic to tomatoes (seems like they are in all the recipes). Any substitutes? Maybe red peppers?
yes omit or use red peppers. tomato is not a major ingredient inthis one.
Thanks! Looking forward to trying this.
Just finished making this. So delicious. Thank you for the terrific recipe. I love that it is oil free. Also, since I only had red potatoes on hand, I used those and it still turned out great. I used button mushrooms as well.
awesome!
This sounds wonderful! I’m trying it today. Thank you for the plant based milk separation solution.
My dairy-free husband has been searching for a creamy potato soup recipe that tastes delicious, and this hit the mark! So yummy. Thanks for a great recipe!
awesome!
So, so good. I used the stove top method and full-fat coconut milk for the non-dairy milk.
Perfect and delicious. Thank you
I made this today, was so good. I only added some cooked barely at the end with the spinach.
This is sooo good! It’s cold and rainy in Chicago today. This was exactly what I needed! 😊
I know this is a Vegan recipe, but would dairy milk ruin the recipe? I mean no offence. I have no nuts or non dairy milk in the house right now!!
And could it be made without potato, or would the flavour profile be vastly changed?
Thank you!
you can use more broth or water.
potato will help thicken the soup too. If you are omitting them, then just blend a quarter the soup to thicken
Thanks so much!
Thank you so much! ❤
