Vegan Gluten Free Garlic Potato Soup

Total time55 min

Prep time15 min

Cook time40 min

Golden, tender Yukon Gold potatoes simmer with plenty of garlic and onion until they practically melt into the broth, then get partially blended for that classic thick-but-chunky texture. Fresh thyme and a good hit of black pepper keep the flavor rounded and savory, while a final stir brings everything together into a bowl of pure comfort. It's an easy one-pot dinner that comes together mostly hands-off while the potatoes do the work on the stove. Finish it with a scatter of fresh chives for a little color and bite. This one's a cozy, satisfying pick for a vegan kitchen, especially on a chilly night when you want something warm and filling with minimal fuss.

Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.
1 medium yellow onion, diced
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 lbs yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
4 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.
½ tsp dried thyme
½ tsp salt, plus more to taste
¼ tsp black pepper, plus more to taste
¾ cup heavy cream
Chef's tip
Use unsweetened dairy-free heavy cream in cooked sauces, soups, and ganache. For whipped uses, choose a product labeled whippable.

For serving

1 tbsp fresh chives, thinly sliced (optional)
¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
