Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized Russet potatoes
• 2 medium-sized Carrots
• 2 pieces Celery stalks
• 1 medium-sized Yellow onion
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 4 cups Low-sodium vegetable broth
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
• 1 piece Bay leaf
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 stalks Green onions (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and carrots, then dice them into small, even chunks. Dice the celery and onion, and mince the garlic.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté for 3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 3

Add the carrots and celery to the pot. Sauté for another 5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.

Step 4

Add the diced potatoes, vegetable broth, thyme, and bay leaf to the pot. Stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 6

Remove the bay leaf from the pot. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until creamy. For a chunkier texture, blend only half the soup.

Step 7

Stir in the unsweetened almond milk. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Simmer for another 2 minutes to heat through.

Step 8

Serve the soup hot, garnished with chopped green onions. Enjoy with a side of crusty bread for a complete meal.
