Earth Angel Vegan’s 2 potato soup is the best potato soup I ever ate! This soup was so creamy and tasty… perfect belly hug for December! It was easy to make as I used my instant pot to cook the veggies. I also used my Vitamix blender to blend the thickening sauce. You could cook your veggies in a pot on the stove but you do need a blender for the sauce. I also used my Wildtree organic spices… you can buy these spices at http://www.wildtree.com/gerri They are organic, preservative free and awesome!
If you do not want to purchase this spice blend… Just use a teaspoon of each…onion powder, salt, garlic powder, black pepper
Recipe:
VEGGIES
In the instant pot or other pressure cooker or just a pot on the stove top add…
1 stalk celery chopped
1 small white onion chopped
3 carrots peeled and choppped
2 Tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
4 cups russet potatoes peeled and chopped
2 cups sweet potatoes peeled and chopped
2 cups water
1 teaspoon of salt (recommended but optional)
In the instant pot or pressure cooker I cooked these veggies for 6 minutes. If on stove top bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer and cook until veggies are tender… adding more water if necessary to keep 2 cups.
THICKENING SAUCE
2 cups unsweetened plant milk
1/2 cup raw cashews
2 Tablespoons of Wildtree Absolutely Onion (or alternate spices)
2 Tablespoons nutritional yeast
2 Tablespoons potato starch
In a microwave safe glass measure or bowl add the milk cashews and spices (not the nutritional yeast or starch)
Cook 2 minutes in microwave and let soak 30 minutes while veggies are cooking or instant pot depressurizing.
When potatoes are cooked take the milk/spice/cashew mixture and put it in the blender adding the nutritional yeast and potato starch and blend until smooth. Add the blender mixture to the potatoes and bring to a boil. Soup will get very thick quickly so stir the entire time. As soon as it comes to a boil turn off heat and stir.
This soup is so rich and creamy and tasty! I really hope you give it a try and enjoy it as much as I did!
