Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 2 medium potatoes (sweet or russet or one of each)
- 1/2 head of cauliflower
- 5 large carrots (or 2 cups baby carrots)
- 3/4 bag of frozen corn
Seasonings
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Vegetables: Dice the potatoes into small pieces for even cooking. Rinse and chop the cauliflower into florets. If using large carrots, peel and slice them; if baby carrots, use them whole or halved.
- Boil Vegetables: Place the diced potatoes, cauliflower, and carrots into a pot with enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook for 15-20 minutes until the vegetables are tender. When there are about 10 minutes left, add the frozen corn to the pot to cook along with the other vegetables.
- Drain and Reserve Liquid: Once cooked until soft, drain the vegetables, but save the cooking water in a bowl. This liquid will be used to adjust the soup’s consistency when pureeing.
- Blend Vegetables: Using an immersion blender, blend the cooked vegetables until smooth. Gradually add the reserved cooking water as needed to achieve your desired soup thickness; about one cup is typical for a thick puree. If you don’t have an immersion blender, transfer the vegetables and some liquid to a standard blender or food processor and puree until smooth, adding liquid as necessary.
- Season and Serve: Stir in garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Remove the soup from heat and serve warm. Optionally, top with sriracha, red pepper flakes, or nutritional yeast for added flavor. The soup may be stored in the refrigerator for 3-5 days and can also be enjoyed cold.
Notes
- This Pureed Vegetable Soup Recipe is a delicious way to enjoy a blend of creamy and sweet veggies in a comforting bowl.
- For added texture and flavor, top with golden, herby croutons or serve with crusty bread for dipping.
- The soup can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days and is suitable to eat warm or cold.
- Adjust the thickness of the soup by varying the amount of reserved cooking liquid added during blending.
