2. Ingredients for Creamy Roasted Garlic Vegan Potato Soup
- 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 head of garlic, roasted
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh chives or parsley for garnish (optional)
3. Step-by-Step Instructions to Make Vegan Potato Soup
Preparing the Roasted Garlic
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the top off the garlic head, drizzle with a little olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for about 30-40 minutes until soft and caramelized. Once cooled, squeeze out the roasted garlic cloves and set aside.
Sauté the Aromatics
In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the roasted garlic and cook for another minute to release its aroma.
Cook the Potatoes
Add the peeled and diced potatoes to the pot, stirring to coat them with the onion and garlic mixture. Pour in the vegetable broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until potatoes are tender.
Blend the Soup
Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, puree the soup until smooth and creamy. Be careful with hot liquids—if using a blender, blend in batches and vent the lid slightly to avoid splatters.
Add Coconut Milk and Seasoning
Return the blended soup to the pot (if using a traditional blender). Stir in the coconut milk, thyme, salt, and pepper. Warm through but do not boil. Adjust seasoning to taste.
4. Storage Tips for Vegan Potato Soup
This vegan potato soup can be stored in airtight containers in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. To reheat, stir in a splash of vegetable broth or water and warm over low heat. For longer storage, freeze in individual portions—be sure to leave some space in the container for expansion.
5. Serving Suggestions for Creamy Garlic Soup
Serve this vegan comfort food hot, garnished with chopped fresh chives or parsley. Pair it with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal. For an extra touch of indulgence, drizzle with a little more coconut milk or a dash of hot sauce.
