Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium (diced) Yellow onion
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 2 medium (diced) Carrots
- 2 diced Celery stalks
- 6 medium (peeled and diced) Russet potatoes
- 5 cups Vegetable broth
- 1 cup Full-fat coconut milk
- 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons (adjust to taste) Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, optional garnishing) Fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced yellow onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute, until fragrant.
Add the diced carrots and celery to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the peeled and diced potatoes, vegetable broth, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well and increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the potatoes are very tender.
Turn off the heat and use an immersion blender to carefully blend the soup until it's creamy and smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until smooth before returning it to the pot.
Stir in the full-fat coconut milk and nutritional yeast, and reheat the soup on low heat for 2-3 minutes if needed.
Taste the soup and adjust the salt and pepper as desired.
Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
