Creamy Double Potato Soup (via abeautifulmess.com) I call this soup creamy because, well, it is, but it doesn’t have any actual cream in it. It’s got a silky smooth texture and a subtle taste of cheese, but it’s still totally vegan-friendly. This is a super comforting soup that you can feel good about eating.

How to make potato soup in the crockpotCreamy Double Potato Soup, serves 4-5. (or you can save some for another night and serve less)

2 russet potatoes
2 sweet potatoes
1 tablespoon chopped onion (much less than pictured above!)
8-10 baby carrots, or 2-3 regular (I always have baby ones around for snacking)
3 cloves of garlic
32 oz. vegetable stock
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
salt and pepper to taste

First I peeled and gave my potatoes a rough chop. I cut up the onion and minced the garlic. Then I added all that to my crockpot along with the vegetable stock. I set my timer to cook on low for 8 hours.

I used an immersion blender to blend everything together right in my crockpot, and that’s how I got that silky smooth texture. Then taste and add salt and pepper as needed. Most store bought stocks will vary a great deal in how much sodium they contain, so wait to season with more salt until you can taste the (almost) finished soup.

If you’ve never cooked with nutritional yeast before, I highly recommend you try it! It’s got a cheesy taste to it. So it’s a great way to add that flavor without adding any dairy.

Creamy Double Potato Soup (via abeautifulmess.com) Serve with a few chopped green onions, bread or roasted chickpeas. Wear comfy socks and get your Netflix on because this is a sit down and enjoy yourself kind of dinner. 🙂 If you don’t consume all the soup in one day, you can freeze leftovers in ice cube trays and thaw the cubes in a pot when you want to eat it another night. Enjoy! xo. Emma
