Description
Creamy Double Potato Soup is a comforting, hearty, and silky smooth soup combining the earthy flavors of russet and sweet potatoes. Slow-cooked in a crockpot with carrots, onion, garlic, and vegetable stock, this vegan and gluten-free recipe is flavored with nutritional yeast and a touch of cayenne for warmth and depth.
Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 2 russet potatoes, peeled and roughly chopped
- 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon chopped onion
- 8-10 baby carrots (or 2-3 regular size carrots)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Liquids & Seasonings
- 32 oz. vegetable stock
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients: Peel and roughly chop the russet and sweet potatoes. Chop the onion and mince the garlic thoroughly to ensure even cooking and flavor distribution.
- Add to crockpot: Place the chopped potatoes, onion, minced garlic, and baby carrots in the crockpot. Pour in the vegetable stock to cover the vegetables, setting the foundation for the soup.
- Cook low and slow: Set the crockpot on low heat and cook the mixture for 8 hours, allowing the potatoes and carrots to soften completely and flavors to meld beautifully.
- Add seasoning and blend: After 8 hours, add the nutritional yeast and cayenne pepper to the crockpot. Use an immersion blender directly in the pot to blend the soup until it achieves a silky smooth texture.
- Adjust seasoning: Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper as needed, noting that vegetable stock sodium content varies, so add salt gradually to avoid over-salting.
Notes
- For a thinner consistency, add more vegetable stock or water before blending.
- Use an immersion blender for easy blending directly in the crockpot; alternatively, blend in batches using a countertop blender, but exercise caution with hot liquids.
- This soup is vegan and gluten-free, suitable for a variety of dietary preferences.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
