This dairy-free potato soup is a comforting and creamy dish that delivers all the rich, hearty flavors you love without the need for dairy. Made with tender potatoes and savory aromatics, this soup achieves its luscious texture through blending instead of milk or cream. It makes this soup suitable for those with lactose intolerance or anyone seeking a lighter alternative. Serve this delightful soup, cozy lunch or a satisfying dinner. Accompany the soup with a fresh green salad or crusty bread for a complete meal.<\/p>\n
In a large saucepan, saute the onions and celery in oil until tender. Add the broth and potatoes then bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.<\/p>\n Cool slightly. Process half the soup until smooth in a blender. Return it to pan and heat thoroughly.<\/p>\n To store dairy-free potato soup, allow it to cool to room temperature. Transfer the soup to airtight containers and refrigerate for up to four days.<\/p>\n For longer storage, divide the cooled soup into portions and place it in freezer-safe containers or bags and leave space for expansion. Freeze the dish for up to three months. When ready to eat, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or use the microwave defrost setting. Reheat on the stovetop over medium heat or in the microwave, adding a splash of non-dairy milk or broth if needed.<\/p>\n Try pairing it with a bowl of hearty greens like a chickpea and sweet potato salad for a refreshing crunch. Serve with a deli sandwich or roasted veggies to add a nutritious, hearty side. Additionally, a slice of homemade bread goes well with any soup and is great for dipping.<\/p>\n For a thicker, creamier soup, simmer the soup uncovered to thicken it by allowing excess liquid to evaporate, or add a thickening agent like a cornstarch slurry. To thin the soup gradually add chicken broth or water, stirring until you achieve the desired consistency.<\/p>\n To make dairy-free potato soup in the Instant Pot, start by setting the pot to “saut\u00e9” and heating olive oil. Add diced onions and saut\u00e9 until translucent, then add chopped celery and cook for another minute. Add diced potatoes and chicken broth. Cancel “saut\u00e9” and set to “pressure cook” on high for eight minutes. After the time is up, perform a quick release. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup, adding more broth if the soup is too thick.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Our dairy-free cream of potato soup is the ultimate lactose-free comfort food.
