It doesn&#8217;t take long to make, and with all those vegetables, it&#8217;s as healthy as it is delicious. We love the combination of aromatic veggies like onion and celery with tender zucchini and sweet potato, but this cream of vegetable soup recipe is a basic formula, so you can add, swap or subtract the vegetables as you wish. If you love mushrooms, cauliflower or plain old potatoes, use them! If zucchini isn&#8217;t your favorite, don&#8217;t include it.

Use olive oil instead of butter, and toss the vegetables and seasonings together. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast them at 400\u00b0F until the vegetables are tender and the edges are golden-brown. Then combine them with the chicken broth, bring it to a simmer and follow the rest of the directions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Leave it chunky: <\/strong>If you love texture, you can skip the blending step and enjoy this as a hearty vegetable soup.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add beans:\u00a0<\/strong>When you add the broth, also stir in a can of rinsed, drained white beans for a boost of protein.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Cream of Vegetable Soup<\/h2>\n<p>Store leftover cream of vegetable soup, covered, in the refrigerator for four to five days. Reheat it gently in a saucepan or the microwave.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze cream of vegetable soup?<\/h3>\n<p>Pureed cream of vegetable soup can be frozen, thawed and reheated gently. Sometimes soups with dairy can separate upon thawing. You can usually bring it back together by whisking. Or, if you&#8217;re making this soup ahead of time, follow all the instructions and skip the cream, then add the cream after thawing, while you&#8217;re reheating the soup.<\/p>\n<h2>Cream of Vegetable Soup Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2070151\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Cream-of-Vegetable-Soup_TOHD24_278474_KristinaVanni_4.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Taste Recipes Cream of Vegetable Soup photo of the finished recipe.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">KRISTINA VANNI FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Can you use frozen veggies in cream of vegetable soup?<\/h3>\n<p>Replacing some fresh vegetables with frozen works well in this soup, as everything will be pureed, and a little extra moisture is fine. Aromatic vegetables, like onion and celery, are best used fresh so they can be sauteed to properly soften and develop their flavor.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you make this soup nondairy?<\/h3>\n<p>If you just skip the cream, you&#8217;ll have a smooth, flavorful soup that&#8217;s less rich. If you want to preserve that mouthfeel without the dairy, you can use coconut milk for a sweeter-tasting soup, or a neutral <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-non-dairy-milk\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-non-dairy-milk\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">plant milk like soy or almond milk<\/a> with a teaspoon of canola or olive oil to add richness.<\/p>\n<h3>What other veggies can you use?<\/h3>\n<p>Most veggies are fair game for this vegetable soup, as long as they are complementary, puree well and won&#8217;t overpower the flavor. Bell peppers, corn, cauliflower or spinach are options to consider. Robust cruciferous veggies like broccoli, Brussels sprouts or cabbage may overpower the delicate flavor of the other vegetables.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s easy to get in your five-a-day when you have a cream of vegetable soup recipe that&#8217;s as straightforward as this: saute, blend and enjoy!
