But above all, it is one of those dishes that you can also eat cold or at room temperature: you can also prepare it in advance and then heat it for dinner.
Since there are no animal fats, but only potatoes, vegetables, and EVOO, even if you eat it cold, it will not only be delicious, but also velvety, creamy, and very light.

How to prepare the vegan cream of potato soup

Cut the onions, celery, and shallots into thin slices and fry with 4 spoons of EVOO in a saucepan with high sides and a thick bottom, 5 minutes on low heat.
Add the potatoes and the broth, season with salt and pepper, then stir to mash the potatoes and cook for 15 minutes.
Turn off, blend to obtain a creamy soup. To remove any possible lumps pass to the strainer and mash with a wooden spoon.
Return to the pan and add the coconut milk, season with the nutmeg and cook for another 5 minutes and then turn off.
Before serving the cream of potatoes, heat it slightly, stir, serve and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.
That’s it, in just a few minutes you have served a really light and velvety vegan cream of potato soup that you can also prepare in advance to save time.
Enjoy the potato power!
