    This vegan vegetable soup is delicious, nutritious, and made with inexpensive ingredients. I'm a HUGE soup lover because soups are warm, so comforting, and perfect to eat after a long, cold day. Besides, this one is gluten-free!

    This simple recipe can be made with any combination of fresh or frozen vegetables. The soup will taste different every time and you can use the ingredients you have on hand. It's totally customizable!

    Ingredient notes

    • Extra virgin olive oil: I’m Spanish, so I use extra virgin olive oil to cook most of my dishes. However, any type of oil is okay. I always use extra virgin oils when possible because they’re healthier. 
    • Potatoes: any type of potatoes will work.
    • Vegetable stock or water: I prefer vegetable stock because it enhances the flavor of this vegan vegetable soup recipe. However, water is okay too. I do suggest you easily make your own vegetable stock at home using our recipe, but you can also use it store-bought.
    • Italian seasoning or dried oregano: feel free to use other herbs to taste, such as fresh parsley, basil, thyme, or rosemary.

    Dietary variations

    • Make it oil-free: you can cook the veggies with some vegetable stock or water instead of oil.
    Step-by-step photos of how to make this recipe

    How to make vegan vegetable soup

    • Heat the oil in a large pot and sauté the garlic, celery, and onion over medium-high heat until golden brown.
    • Add all the remaining ingredients, bring to a boil, and simmer for 30 minutes.
    • Serve your vegan vegetable soup immediately.

    How to store

    • Fridge: store the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 5-7 days.
    • Freezer: store the leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 6 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge.
    • Reheat: it can be reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop over medium heat until warmed through. Add a little water or vegetable stock if needed.

    Serving suggestions

    You can serve your vegan vegetable soup as a cozy and nutritious dinner along with some Instant Pot chickpeas, baked tofu, or tempeh to add more protein to this meal. Another option is to directly incorporate some white beans into your soup.

    Ingredients 

    US Customary - Metric
    • 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
    • 4 cloves of garlic, sliced
    • 2 celery stalks, chopped
    • 1 onion, chopped
    • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
    • 2 large carrots, peeled and chopped

    Instructions

    • Heat the oil in a large pot and sauté the garlic, celery, and onion over medium-high heat until golden brown, stirring occasionally.
    • Add all the remaining ingredients, bring to a boil, and simmer partially covered for 30 minutes or until the potatoes and carrots are tender.
    • Serve your vegan vegetable soup immediately with Instant Pot chickpeas, baked tofu, or tempeh.  
    • Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 5-7 days or in the freezer for up to 6 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge. It can be reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop over medium heat until warmed through. Add a little water or vegetable stock if needed.

    Notes

    • If you don’t consume oil, use some water or vegetable stock instead.
    • Customize this vegan vegetable soup recipe with any veggies, spices, or herbs you have on hand.
    • I recommend you use fresh garlic, although garlic powder would also work well, as well as onion powder.
    • You don't need to peel the potatoes or the carrots.
    • I usually use frozen corn kernels, but canned corn is also a good option.
    • You can either use fresh or frozen green beans, as well as canned or frozen peas.
    • You could omit Italian seasoning or add a different kind of herb, although it gives the soup a delicious flavor.
    • Feel free to use any type of salt.

      This was a fantastic base. I omitted the garlic onion celery and oil due to sensitivities…sautéed baby Yukon potatoes and carrots in water and better than bouillon no chicken base - added salt pepper Italian seasoning…then added fire roasted crushed tomatoes, a pack of frozen mixed veggies…(carrots peas green beans..corn..something else) and four cups of water with the bouillon base…

      Before I did all that - I chopped up a small green cabbage and sautéed it in water/bouillon and added turmeric and salt and pepper…covered and stirred a couple times until it was tender…added that to the soup.

      I did add a little water since the soup lost some when I let it simmer uncovered - then I covered it - but overall I thought four cups plus the crushed tomatoes was enough. I always need to add a little liquid after the fact with soups. I also used a teaspoon of sugar because of the canned tomatoes.

      Soooooo good. Went great with some vegan cornbread I made.

      The taste of tomato was way too overpowering. Had a very bitter taste. Cooking time was a lot longer than stated to ensure carrots and potatoes were soft. Don’t think we’ll be making this again.

      Made this yesterday and it was amazing!! One of my sons likened it to Progresso soup. I think it’s better! With the house down with sinus trouble, this is just what we needed.

      Very quick, very good and very flexible. I added canned chickpeas and a cup of uncooked rice with 20 minutes left to boil, I didn't have any celery. This makes a very hearty meal.

      Hiya! I’ve made this before and LOVED it! However I only have whole peeled tomatoes instead of crushed.. would that work just as well?
