Easy Creamy Vegetable Soup Recipe

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: pecorino cheese

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

Cut carrots, onion, potato, celery, and garlic into similar sizes for easy blending.

Do not peel thin-skinned potatoes as they blend well.

Heat oil in a large soup pot to lightly coat the bottom.

Add chopped onion, carrots, celery, and salt; sauté until onions begin to sweat.

Add potatoes and garlic to the pot.

Tie fresh thyme together for easy removal later and add it along with bay leaves to the pot.

Pour in chicken stock and bring to a simmer.

Simmer until vegetables are soft and potatoes easily break when pierced with a fork.

Remove thyme and bay leaves from the soup.

Blend the soup until creamy and smooth.

Add a generous splash of half-and-half or non-dairy milk for extra creaminess.

Adjust salt to taste if needed.
