salt and pepper<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nHow to Make Vegan Potato Soup<\/h2>\n
The first step to making this creamy soup is to gather and chop your fresh vegetables. Start by chopping the carrots, celery, and onions. Once you have about a cup of each, heat up some olive oil in a large pot over medium heat and toss in your veggies. Keep stirring these for a few minutes until they start to soften, and then add in the garlic. You want to add the garlic later so that it does not burn in the pot.<\/p>\n
While the chopped vegetables and garlic are cooking, peel the potatoes. After peeling, you can weigh your potatoes to get an exact measurement, but this isn’t necessary. You can adjust the creaminess at the end when you add in the coconut milk. Cut the potatoes into smaller chunks so that they will cook faster.<\/p>\n

Once the vegetables have significantly softened, toss in your chopped potatoes. Immediately dump in the box of vegetable broth and stir. This is when you will add your seasonings of choice. You want to add them in during this stage because it will allow the potatoes to absorb all the flavors. Add in as much salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme, and\/or chives as desired. The measurements I used are listed below, but feel free to add as much as you’d like.<\/p>\n
After seasoning, give the soup a stir and cover. Let it simmer for about 35 minutes and then check to see if it is soft enough that the potatoes can easily be mashed. Use a potato masher to mash the potatoes as much as possible. If they are still a little too hard, cover and try again in 5\u201310 minutes.<\/p>\n
Once the potatoes are mashed, add in the coconut milk to make it creamy! Depending on the size of your potatoes, you might need more or less coconut milk than recommended. Start off by adding half of the can, and keep adding more until your soup is creamy enough.<\/p>\n
How to Make the Soup Extra Creamy<\/h2>\n
Once you are done, you will notice that while the soup is creamy and soft, there are still visible chunks of carrots. If you prefer your soup completely smooth and runny with no chunks, use an immersion hand blender to completely pulverize the vegetables.<\/p>\n
