Vegetarian Dairy Free Potato Soup

Total time50 min

Prep time15 min

Cook time35 min

This creamy, golden soup starts with a simple sauté of onion, celery, and garlic, then builds richness from tender Yukon Gold potatoes simmered until they practically melt. A quick blend turns everything silky smooth, and a stir of full-fat coconut milk gives the finished bowl that deep, velvety body you want from a good potato soup. Smoked paprika adds a subtle warmth in the background, while a scatter of fresh chives on top brings brightness and color to every bowl. It's a cozy, satisfying dinner that comes together in one pot with minimal fuss, and it holds up beautifully as leftovers the next day. This one is an easy, reliable pick for a vegetarian kitchen, no fuss required.

1 medium yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 stalks celery, diced
2 lbs yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
3 cups chicken broth
Chef's tip
Use the same amount of low-sodium vegetable broth. The dish will be a little lighter in flavor than with chicken broth.
1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
1 tsp salt, plus more to taste
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp smoked paprika

For serving

1 tbsp fresh chives, thinly sliced (optional)
dairy free bacon, cooked and crumbled (optional)
Chef's tip
Cook it only until crisp, adding a little oil to the pan - vegetarian bacon cooks much faster than pork bacon and can scorch. If the recipe simmers or bakes the bacon further, set it aside and stir it back in near the end.

Instructions

1
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5–6 minutes.
2
Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Watch closely so it does not brown.
