Ingredients
Scale
Soup Base
- 2 tablespoons vegan butter
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 1/2 cup celery, diced
- 2 carrots, diced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into bite-size pieces
- 2 cups soy milk
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
- Black pepper to taste
Optional Garnish
- Tempeh bacon
Instructions
- Heat vegan butter: Melt vegan butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat to create a flavorful base for the soup.
- Sauté vegetables: Add diced onion, celery, carrots, and salt to the pot. Cook for 3 minutes until the vegetables start to soften and the flavors meld together.
- Add garlic: Stir in minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, enhancing the soup’s aroma and taste.
- Add potatoes and liquids: Incorporate the Yukon Gold potatoes, soy milk, vegetable broth, and bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a boil, ensuring all ingredients combine evenly.
- Simmer the soup: Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the soup simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and cooked through.
- Finish and season: Remove the bay leaf. Stir in chopped parsley and add black pepper to taste for a fresh, aromatic finish.
- Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with optional tempeh bacon for extra texture and smoky flavor, if desired.
Notes
- For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup after cooking.
- Tempeh bacon is optional but adds a smoky depth to the soup.
- Use low-sodium vegetable broth to control the salt content.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently on the stovetop or in a microwave until warm.
