Creamy Vegan Potato Soup Ingredients and Substitutions

Enjoy the creamy taste of this delicious Vegan Potato Soup. Before you can make this homemade soup, you will need a few essential ingredients to assemble it!

Vegan Butter – The addition of vegan butter adds flavor to the vegetable broth that you will use to make this soup.

Celery – Grab your stalk of celery and dice it down into small pieces. If you don’t have celery, you can use fennel bulbs in this soup recipe.

Garlic – Mince your cloves of garlic into small pieces to add to your pot of ingredients for the soup.

Yellow Onion – Dice your onion into small pieces to go with your celery and garlic. While yellow onion works best, you can use a white onion or Spanish onion for this recipe.

Yukon Gold Potatoes – Cut your potatoes into small cubes. You don’t want them to be too big or too small for this soup.

Vegetable Broth – Add four cups of vegetable broth to your pot for the soup. The broth is the base for this creamy soup! If you don’t have vegetable broth, you can use water for this recipe, but you will need to add more seasonings to give the soup a better taste.

Vegan Sour Cream – Use a bit of vegan sour cream to thicken this soup up a bit, making it creamier and more flavorful.

You will need a few other ingredients, such as canned white beans, plain unsweetened almond milk, salt, pepper, and ground nutmeg. By combining these ingredients, you will end up with a creamy, savory soup that keeps you coming back for more.
