Insanely delicious, easy to make vegan potato soup...

Forgive the blurry pictures but this soup is amazing!  

Grab an onion a few carrots and Idaho and red potatoes, organic if possible. Wash the veggies, especially the red potatoes if you leave the skin on like I do. You can also add celery or even drop dumplings (so good)! In the meantime, put some vegan butter and olive oil along with the spices into a large pot and start chopping the veggies. 

~Tip: Keep all the peels from your veggies, put them in a pot, cover them with water and add salt, pepper, garlic, bay leaves, turmeric, and any fresh herbs like parsley if you have any. Simmer for about 45 minutes, strain out the veggies, and store in glass containers. In the refrigerator, this will last a week or freeze and use later.

~Another tip: If you do not have time to make the veggie broth, just throw everything into a freezer storage container and make it later.

The basics and you can also add garlic or anything you like.

I like to use this Vidalia Chop Wizard to chop the veggies to the perfect shape. Add the veggies and seasonings to the pot and cover them with veggie broth and simmer.  About 30 minutes.

~Side note: My punks do not like onions but onions make everything taste so much better. I left the onion I used whole to get the flavor.

Once the veggies are tender, add about 1-1/2 cups of milk (even cow milk, if you must, gag). Almond and coconut work the best or you can add in a can of condensed coconut milk if you prefer and then bring all of that awesomeness almost to a boil and turn it off.

If you like your soup a little thicker, pull out some of the broth, potatoes, and about a tablespoon of flour and put them in a blender or food processor and blend. I love this Mini-Magic Bullet. Add the blended mixture back to the pot. 

That is it! You can top this anyway you like, vegan cheese, vegan sour cream, and veggie bacon are the toppings of choice for us. I really also love chives but guess who forgot to get chives? 

This will stay in the refrigerator for up to 5 days and easy to freeze, just add a little broth, water, or milk when you heat it back up. Enjoy!
