It’s soup season and there’s nothing like a dairy-free potato soup. This Ghoulishly Green Vegan Potato Soup is my favorite comfort food potato soup with a healthy twist.

This vegan soup recipe is creamy without olive oil, vegan butter, heavy cream, or full-fat coconut milk. It uses healthy veggies like potatoes, kale, spinach, or your favorite greens and all you need is a large pot.

In October I turn all my recipes into spooky Halloween fun!

How can I thicken soup without dairy?

Potatoes are a great way to make a creamy soup, though you can use cooked cauliflower, soaked pureed cashew, or even rolled oats like in my plant-based tomato soup recipe.

Creamy Vegan Potato Soup Ingredients

You just need simple ingredients to make this almost classic potato recipe. Plus it’s healthy because

  • Idaho russet potatoes ( sub red potatoes or other potato chunks)
  • water and vegetable bouillon cube, or veggie broth
  • garlic
  • spinach and/or kale, or mixture of greens
  • nutritional yeast
  • cashews, or sub rolled oats
  • liquid smoke
  • salt and black pepper, to taste
  • pumpernickel bread, optional – for spooky garnish

How to make this creamy soup

Add the potatoes, water (or veggie broth), bouillon, and garlic to a large soup pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, and then turn to medium. Simmer until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.

While the potatoes cook, preheat the oven to 350°. Cut the bread into small squares (or into Halloween shapes using cookie cutters) and spread on a baking sheet and bake for 5 to 10 minutes, until crispy. Set aside.

Blend the spinach, yeast, cashews, and liquid smoke with 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid. Purée until very smooth with an immersion blender or food processor.

Mash the potatoes with a potato masher while they are in the pot. It doesn’t have to be completely smooth. I like it a little chunky myself. Make it the texture you like best.

Stir in the green mixture until completely incorporated. Serve with your favorite toppings.

What can I top my homemade potato soup with?

Oh, so many things! Toppings are one of the best parts of soup. For this recipe, I decorate it for Halloween with pumpernickel bat cutouts or a cut-up red pepper monster.

But you can garnish with sliced green onions, soy milk, vegan sour cream or yogurt, vegan bacon bits – like tempeh bacon crumbled up, cashew cream, fresh chives or other fresh herbs like parsley or thyme, even shredded vegan cheese.

Can I make this creamy dairy-free soup

in a crockpot?

You could cook this soup in your slow cooker if you’d prefer. Just add the raw potatoes, water, bouillon, and garlic, then cook on low for 7 to 9 hours.

Right before you serve you’ll jump back into the regular directions pureeing the spinach and cashews to make it green and creamy – yum!

How do I store this creamy potato soup?

Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Do not freeze this soup because it will ruin the texture of the soup.

I love potato soup, and it’s perfect for a chilly fall evening. This recipe dresses up in green for Halloween. But don’t let its “costume” trick you: it still tastes like old-fashioned potato soup!
