Rich, hearty and satisfying vegan potato soup. Super easy, hugely delicious and so filling you can have it as a main course!
This vegan potato soup will blow your mind. I know this because my mind was totally blown.
I’m a big soup fan and absolutely love a good soup.
But in all my years of making soups, I had never tried to make a potato soup. Boy, have I been missing out!
Don’t be fooled by the color, this aint no butternut squash soup, the color comes from the 2 carrots I added. Carrots are great to add to soups, they add texture, color and flavor.
But seriously, this is a potato soup. It’s wonderfully rich, hearty and delicious. And as good as it is on the first go, it’s even better the next day. So when you make this you know you have some good eating ahead.
And while we generally tend to think of soups as appetizers, and sure, they are that too, this one is so filling there is no need for a main course.
How to make vegan potato soup
This vegan potato soup is ready in under an hour (50 minutes) and most of that time is just spent doing its thing on the stove without any involvement needed from you, so it’s easy and fun to make.
You’re just going to fry up some onion and garlic in a little coconut oil and some dried herbs, then add some chopped carrots and peeled and chopped potatoes and sauté them a little to spread the flavors around.
Then you’re going to add in some vegetable stock, bring to the boil and leave to simmer (covered) for around 30 minutes or as long as needed until the potatoes and carrots are soft and cooked.
Then it’s just a case of getting in there with an immersion blender and blending it all up, adding in some coconut milk and letting it gently heat through and mix wonderfully with all the flavors of the soup.
And there you have it! The most deliciously rich and hearty soup.
Top with some chives, because you just won’t believe how well they go with this soup.
You will love this vegan potato soup, it’s hearty, satisfying and rich and it tastes even better the next day! It’s easy to prepare and hugely delicious served with some wholewheat bread for dipping.
Have it as an appetizer if you like, but it’s so filling it works great as a main course too.

This is the soup that my husband, who is just learning how to cook without meat, learned to make. It’s my favorite soup ever. We make it all the time. He just started back to school and I am making this for him tonight because it brings us comfort (food right!). Thank you for this delicious recipe. I especially love the Rosemary and creaminess. It’s so so great!
