Ingredients
  

  • 4 large potatoes peeled and chopped
  • 1 cup vegetable broth or water with vegetable bouillon
  • 1 cup plant-based milk such as almond or oat milk
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or dried thyme
  • to taste salt and pepper

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Blender or immersion blender
  • Cutting Board
  • Chef's knife

Method
 

  1. Peel and chop the potatoes into small, even pieces for quick and uniform cooking.
  2. Heat the large pot over medium heat, then add a splash of water or oil and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Add the chopped potatoes to the pot and stir to coat them with the garlic aroma. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Pour in the vegetable broth and add the thyme. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  5. Once the potatoes are soft when pierced with a fork, remove the pot from heat.
  6. Use an immersion blender or transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Be careful of the hot liquid!
  7. Return the blended soup to the pot if using a blender, then stir in the plant-based milk. Heat gently until warmed through, about 3-5 minutes.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then give it a final stir. The soup should be velvety, warm, and inviting.
  9. Serve hot, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy the comforting flavors of this simple vegan potato soup.
