Print Recipe

A simple, warming German potato soup that is dairy-free and budget-friendly. This comforting dish is perfect for weeknight dinners or as a starter for a German-themed meal.

Ingredients

  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup dairy-free cream (oat or soy recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Herbs of choice (e.g., thyme, parsley)

Instructions

  1. Warm the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion, diced carrots, and diced celery. Sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the diced potatoes and pour in the vegetable broth to cover the vegetables. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
  4. Remove from heat and use an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth.
  5. Stir in the dairy-free cream, season with salt, pepper, and herbs. Warm gently for a minute.
  6. Ladle into bowls, garnish as desired, and serve hot.

Notes

Potatoes can be Yukon Gold for creaminess or Russet for a fluffier texture. The soup can be adapted by adding bacon or leeks for richer flavors.
