Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 sweet onion medium diced, about 1 cup
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 stalks celery sliced thin, about ½ cup
- 1 large carrot diced small, about 1 cup
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes peeled and cut into half inch pieces

- 1 15-ounce can full-fat coconut milk

- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium high heat. When hot, add the onions, celery, garlic and carrots and cook until soft, about 8-10 minutes. Stir frequently to avoid burning.
- Add potatoes, broth, milk, miso, thyme, and nutritional yeast to pot. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and cover with a lid. Simmer for 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
- Transfer 2 cups of soup to a blender and puree. Add it back to pot. Taste adjust seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve and enjoy.
Recipe Tips
- Be Careful and Don't Burn the Vegetables. Cook at a low enough temperature and stir frequently to prevent burning. Garlic and onion may be bitter if they burn and cause an off flavor in your soup.
- Don't Use Waxy Potatoes. While there is always a lot of flexibility in soups, waxy potatoes don't tend to work well for creamy soups. When blended I find them to take on a glue-like texture.
- Make It to Your Tastes. This creamy potato soup has a lot of versatility. Check out the variations and toppings sections above for some inspiration. Don't forget you can skip the blending or blend ALL the soup to make the consistency of the potato soup how you want it.
