Creamy Potato Soup
Description
There’s nothing quite as comforting as a warm bowl of homemade potato soup, and this Creamy Potato Soup delivers on every level. Tender yellow potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, and garlic simmer together in a flavorful broth before being finished with plant-based sour cream and non-dairy milk, creating a silky, satisfying soup with layers of savory flavor in every spoonful.

Serve it with a slice of crusty bread, a crisp green salad, or your favorite sandwich for a meal that’s both hearty and comforting. Whether you’re gathering around the table on a chilly evening or simply craving a cozy homemade lunch, this timeless soup is one you’ll be happy to make again and again.

For a smooth soup, blend with an Immersion Blender until the desired consistency is reached.
If you don't have an immersion blender, let the soup cool slightly, then ladle it into a blender in batches if necessary and blend to the desired consistency. Be very careful as the soup will be hot.
