Ingredients
2 tablespoons melted vegan butter
1/2 red onion, finely diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
4 cups potatoes, peeled and chopped into 1-inch cubes
2 cups vegetable broth
3 cups unsweetened soy milk
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons vegan plain yogurt
1/2 cup vegan shredded cheese
2 tablespoons chives, chopped
Instructions
In a large pot, melt the vegan butter over medium heat.
Add the diced red onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and smoked paprika, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Add the peeled potato cubes and vegetable broth to the pot, bringing to a simmer.
Cook for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup, leaving some chunks for texture.
Stir in the vegan milk, salt, pepper, and vegan yogurt until smooth.
Simmer on low for an additional 5 minutes to heat through perfectly.
Ladle into bowls and garnish with vegan shredded cheese and fresh chives before serving.
Notes
Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of extra plant milk if the soup thickens too much. For a smoother, chowder-like consistency, blend the soup completely.
