Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 2 medium potatoes (sweet or russet or one of each)
- ½ head of cauliflower
- 5 large carrots (or 2 cups baby carrots)
- ¾ bag of frozen corn
Seasonings
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare and cook vegetables: Dice the potatoes evenly. In a large pot over medium heat, bring the potatoes, cauliflower, and carrots to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until the vegetables are tender. About 10 minutes before the end of cooking, add the frozen corn to the pot.
- Drain and blend: Once vegetables are soft, carefully drain excess cooking water into a separate bowl to adjust soup consistency later. Using an immersion blender, purée the vegetables directly in the pot until smooth. If an immersion blender is not available, transfer vegetables to a food processor or blender and blend until pureed. Add back about one cup of the reserved cooking water or as much as needed to reach your preferred thickness.
- Season and serve: Stir in garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Remove the pot from heat. Serve the soup warm, optionally topping with sriracha, red pepper flakes, or nutritional yeast for added taste. This soup can also be stored refrigerated for 3-5 days and enjoyed cold if desired.
Notes
- This pureed vegetable soup is creamy and flavorful, combining a balance of starchy and sweet vegetables for a nourishing meal.
- Consider topping the soup with golden, herby croutons or serving with crusty bread for added texture and heartiness.
- The soup can be customized with additional spices or herbs to suit your taste preferences.
- Storing the soup in an airtight container in the fridge keeps it fresh for up to 5 days.
