Tips for the Best Vegan Potato Soup:
- Potato Choice: Russet potatoes are ideal for creating a thick and creamy soup, but Yukon Gold potatoes will also work well.
- Blending: For the smoothest soup, use an immersion blender directly in the pot, or carefully transfer the soup to a regular blender. Be cautious when blending hot liquids!
- Plant-Based Milk: Unsweetened almond, soy, or oat milk all work well. Choose a variety that you enjoy the taste of.
Serving Suggestions & Toppings:
- A swirl of plant-based cream or coconut milk
- Chopped fresh chives or parsley
