Servings: 4
Calories: 264kcal
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- ½ onion chopped
- 2 tablespoon flour gluten-free if needed
- 1 and ½ cups vegetable stock or water
- 1 and ½ cups unsweetened plant milk of your choice I used soy milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 pound potatoes peeled and cubed, see notes
- ¼ cup nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice optional
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large pot and cook the onion over medium-high heat until golden brown, stirring occasionally.
- Add the flour and whisk well for about 1 to 2 minutes until it’s cooked and fully incorporated.
- Slowly add in the stock while whisking.
- Then add the plant milk, salt, and pepper and stir until well combined. Add more or less liquid (vegetable stock/water and milk), depending on how thick you want your soup to be.
- Add the potatoes and bring the soup to a boil.
- Then cover it and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the potatoes are soft.
- Remove from the heat, add the nutritional yeast and the lemon juice and stir until well combined.
- You can use an immersion blender and do 3-4 quick pulses or a potato masher to get a thicker and creamier soup. This step is optional.
- Serve immediately with toppings like tempeh bacon and chopped chives, or eat it with some seitan or tempeh.
- Keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
Notes
- Yukon Gold potatoes are great for this recipe.
- If you want to reduce the amount of sodium in this potato soup, use water or low-sodium vegetable stock instead, omit the salt or just add less of it.
- If you can’t find nutritional yeast, feel free to use brewer’s yeast or a little bit of beer instead. You could also omit this ingredient, but it gives the soup a delicious cheesy flavor.
- Feel free to use any kind of unsweetened plant milk, although soy milk is my favorite one for this recipe.
- Nutritional info has been calculated without the toppings.
