Creamy Veggie Soup One-Pot (Print Version)

A luscious dairy-free soup with soft vegetables and a rich creamy base made with plant milk and butter.

# Ingredients:

→ Base

01 - 4 stalks celery, diced
02 - 3 medium carrots, sliced
03 - 1 medium white onion, diced
04 - 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
05 - 1 tablespoon neutral oil or olive oil

→ Additional Vegetables

06 - 1 cup chickpeas or white beans (optional)
07 - 1 cup frozen peas
08 - ½ cup frozen corn

→ Creamy Base

09 - 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
10 - 1 cup dairy-free, unsweetened milk (soy works great)
11 - 4 cups vegetable stock
12 - ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
13 - ⅓ cup dairy-free butter

→ Seasonings

14 - ½ teaspoon thyme (fresh)
15 - ½ teaspoon oregano (fresh)
16 - ½ teaspoon rosemary (fresh)
17 - ½ teaspoon pepper
18 - 1 teaspoon salt

# Steps:

01 - Warm oil in a big pot on medium heat. Add garlic, onion, celery, carrots, and sprinkle in some salt. Sauté for around 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion looks softened.
02 - Drop in the butter and coat the veggies by stirring in the flour. This creates a thick paste-like mix.
03 - Gradually mix in the vegetable stock while adding your spices. Stir constantly to avoid clumps, and let it bubble gently until you notice it getting thicker.
04 - Toss in peas, corn, chickpeas, milk, and nutritional yeast. Simmer the mixture on low heat for 5 to 7 minutes until everything’s heated through.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - Switch to gluten-free flour to skip the wheat
02 - Store in the fridge for up to 3 days
