WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE VEGAN CREAMY ROASTED GARLIC POTATO SOUP:

You need the following ingredients to make this Roasted Garlic Potato Soup (the exact measurements are in the recipe card below):

• Garlic – Roasted garlic is slightly sweet and has a less pungent taste, so the soup is not too spicy.
• Olive oil – You will roast the garlic cloves in olive oil and end up with garlic oil, which you can use in cooking in many ways.
• Sea salt
• Potatoes – I used red potatoes, but you can use white potatoes as well (they are more starchy).
• Vegetable broth – For best flavor, use homemade vegetable broth. Use the broth depending on how thin or thick you want the soup to be.
• Soy or oat cream – Adds extra creaminess, but you can substitute for coconut milk or any plant-based milk or just more vegetable broth.
• Nutritional yeast – adds a cheesy flavor to the soup.
• Onion powder – add more flavor.
• Black pepper
• Bread – to make croutons. Use at least 1-day old bread.

Equipment you need:

• Small baking dish – for roasting garlic.
• Medium-size pot – for boiling potatoes.
• Blender – I recommend using a high-speed blender for a super smooth consistency.
• Baking tray – to make bread croutons.
• Parchment paper or aluminum foil

Making this Roasted Garlic Potato Soup is super easy and comes with 4 following steps:

1. Step: Roast garlic

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

To a small baking dish, add peel garlic cloves and drizzle them with olive oil and little sea salt. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until slightly golden brown and soft. Be careful not to burn them.

After the garlic is roasted, let it cool slightly.

2. Step: Boil potatoes

Cut potatoes into cubes and boil them on medium heat in salted water until tender. After boiling, drain the potatoes.

3. Step: Blend everything into a smooth soup

To a blender, add boiled potatoes, roasted garlic cloves (without the oil*), vegetable broth, soy cream, nutritional yeast, and onion powder. Season with black pepper and blend until smooth and creamy. Add more vegetable broth if too thick and season with salt and pepper if needed, and blend again.

*You can use the leftover garlic oil in salads, cooking, for drizzling, or when making the bread croutons.

4. Step: Make bread croutons (optional) and serve

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line the baking tray with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Cut the bread into small cubes and put it on the tray. Toss the bread with olive oil (you can use the leftover garlic oil) and season with black pepper. Bake for about 10 minutes until golden brown and crispy (the time depends on how thick you cut your cubes).

Serve the soup with a drizzle of soy cream or garlic oil and crispy bread croutons.
