  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup chopped carrots
  • 1 cup sliced celery
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups Vegetable Broth or water see Recipe Notes
  • 3 large russet potatoes, peeled and cubed (about 5 cups)
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon thyme
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup almond, rice, or soy milk
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or 1 teaspoon dried parsley

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil in saucepan over medium heat. Cook onions, carrots, and celery until vegetables are softened. Stir in garlic, and cook for another minute, stirring constantly so garlic doesn’t burn.
  • Add broth, potatoes, bay leaf, salt, thyme, and pepper. Bring to a boil. Simmer, covered, for 30 minutes or until potatoes are soft. Discard bay leaf. Add half of potato mixture to a food processor or blender, and process until smooth. Return to saucepan. Stir in almond milk, and parsley. Cook until heated through, and serve.
