Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon vegan butter
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 2 stalks celery diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ¼ cup gluten free flour tested w/ Bob’s Red Mill GF All-Purpose Baking Flour
  • 2 cups vegetable stock
  • 2 cups unsweetened soy milk
  • 1 ½ lbs peeled Yukon gold potatoes cut into ½’’ cibes
  • 1 cup vegan sour cream
  • ¼ cup nutritional yeast

Croutons:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 slices whole wheat bread cut into ½’’ cubes
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Additional toppings:

  • Chopped green onions or chives
  • Vegan sour cream

Instructions

For the soup:

  • Place a large soup pot over medium-low heat. Add the olive oil and butter. Once the butter melts, add the onion and celery. Saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the flour and stir to coat the veggies.
  • Slowly stir in the broth and milk, then add the potatoes. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
  • Add the sour cream and nutritional yeast over low heat, stirring to combine. Heat on low for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is heated through.
  • Remove the pot from heat, then use an immersion blender to puree the soup to desired smoothness, leaving a few chunks of potato as desired.
  • Ladle soup into bowls, then top as desired with chopped chives, sour cream, and croutons.

For the croutons:

  • Place a small skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil, and once it is shiny, add the bread cubes. Toss to coat the cubes in the oil, then toast over medium-low heat for 5-6 minutes, stirring often, until the cubes are golden brown and crispy.
  • Remove the croutons from heat and add the smoked paprika and salt. Toss to coat, then serve as desired as a soup topping.
