Easy to make healthy potato soup on the stovetop. You won't believe this creamy recipe doesn't need any milk or cheese!   Get ready to make the best potato soup ever! Vegetarian option available in recipe.

Dairy-Free Potato Soup That’s Actually Creamy

We love my Crockpot Idaho Potato Soup, but I wanted a dairy-free potato soup recipe that I could make when I didn’t want to use milk or cheese. This potato soup without milk is creamy, filling, and made with simple ingredients I usually already have in the kitchen. No fancy dairy substitutes needed—just good old Yukon Gold potatoes, vegetables, broth, and a little kitchen magic.

I’ve been having fun making more soups and stews you’ll want to make on repeat, especially recipes that don’t need dairy to taste really good. My Creamy Garlic Dairy-Free Mashed Potatoes and Dairy-Free Creamy Cauliflower and Potato Soup are two more favorites. And now this potato soup with no dairy has officially joined the list! It’s thick, creamy, loaded with tender potatoes and vegetables, and honestly, you’d never guess there’s no milk or cheese hiding in there.

How to Make Dairy Free Potato Soup

This soup calls for lots of vegetables! You’ll need potatoes, an onion and carrots. And to make it even easier, you don’t even need to peel the potatoes!

Cook for 20 minutes or until a fork easily slides into the potato.

Use a immersion blender or regular blender to blend until soup is smooth. Careful, the soup is hot! Remember we didn’t peel the potatoes? The potato skin is going to help us to make a naturally creamy potato soup.

How to Freeze Leftovers

This potato soup freezes great. I often will make a double or triple batch, so I can freeze it for super easy meals.

I make the soup as instructed, and then freeze in freezer safe glass containers or freezer bags. When it’s time to defrost you can thaw overnight in the refrigerator or I throw it in the microwave. Once defrosted add soup to a pot on the stove and heat up.

I hope you love this simple potato soup – enjoy!

    This potato soup is so delicious, and more importantly needs super minimum amount of ingredients. This will definitely be my emergency soup when I have not much stock in my kitchen. 🙂
