👩🍳 How to Make Creamy Vegetable Soup
Warm, comforting & easy! Packed with fresh veggies, blended to silky perfection. Perfect for chilly days.
👉 Step-by-step photos are included!
Step 1: Chop the vegetables and tomatoes and add them with garlic to a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, season, and toss to coat.
Step 2: Roast in the preheated oven until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized. Stir halfway through for even cooking.
Step 3: Cool the roasted vegetables, add them to a pot with garlic and broth, stir in basil, and cook for 15 minutes.
Step 4: Blend the soup until smooth with an immersion blender or in batches with a regular blender. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve with croutons. Use my 3-ingredient, no-knead bread recipe to make homemade croutons.
Pro tip: Double the batch—it freezes perfectly for lazy days!
❓ Creamy Vegetable Soup FAQs
Method:
Sauté veggies and potatoes in oil until slightly soft (3-5 mins).
Add stock, simmer 10-15 mins until tender.
Blend smooth, season to taste.
Serve with crème fraîche and herbs. Freezes well for 1 month.
Use Stale Bread: Tear a few slices into pieces and let them soak in a cup or two of hot soup before blending them in for a creamier texture.
Mix in Yogurt: Plain yogurt adds creaminess, similar to cream, but with a lighter touch—great for soups like avocado soup.
You can substitute milk for heavy cream, but the texture and taste will be slightly different.
Greek yogurt can replace heavy cream in sauces and soups using a 1:1 ratio, but it's not the best option for baking or whipping.
To store soup properly:
Cool First: Let it cool before transferring to containers.
Refrigerate: Keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.
Freeze: Store in airtight containers or bags for up to 3 months.
Reheat: If frozen, thaw in the fridge first, then reheat on the stove or in the microwave.
