About the Recipe
Here’s the fantastic part: you can make this creamy potato soup in three delicious ways:
- Classic: A rich and creamy soup made with all-purpose flour and heavy cream.
- Dairy-free: Use vegan butter and replace the cream with unsweetened plant-based milk (almond milk works great!). Start with 2/3 cup and adjust to reach your desired consistency.
- Gluten-free: Swap all-purpose flour for a 1-to-1 gluten-free flour blend (King Arthur is a great choice!).
Personalize Your Soup
This recipe can be treated like a loaded baked potato in soup form—feel free to top it with:
- Dollops of vegan sour cream
- Shredded cheddar cheese
- Chives or green onions
- Vegan bacon bits (if prepared in advance)
Let us know your favorite toppings in your challenge entry!
