Farmhouse Cream of Vegetable Soup

This luscious soup evokes wonderful memories of sitting at my grandma’s table after school on a cold, wintery day, and slurping up spoonful after spoonful of this warm and delicious vegetable soup.

Sadly, I never thought to ask my grandma for the recipe for her soup, but with a little experimenting, I think this recipe comes very close.

This one-pot, simple cream of vegetable soup is one of my favorite quick and easy meals. It’s pure comfort food yet loaded with healthy, nourishing, and slimming ingredients. It’s also dairy free. And gluten-free.

Farmhouse Vegetable Soup FAQ

What type of milk do you recommend for this cream of vegetable soup?

Soy milk works best in this soup as it lends just the right flavor. Cashew milk (especially homemade cashew milk) may be the next best.

Almond milk is a little too sweet for this simple, savory soup. Rice milk is too thin. Coconut milk definitely has the WRONG flavor! I’ve not tried hemp or oat milk, but my guess is they won’t be as good as soy or cashew in this particular soup.

Be sure to use plain, unsweetened milk! You don’t want sweet vanilla veggies!

Can I use other vegetables in this vegetable soup?

I used celery, carrots, onion, red potatoes, and green beans because those were the ones that tasted best to me in this soup – and those were the veggies my grandma used. 🙂 You could probably vary the veggie content without a problem.

What can I serve with the soup?

This soup is so nutritious and satisfying that it’s a meal in itself. We also love this cream of vegetable soup with crusty bread, croutons, or whole-grain crackers. And it’s great with a side salad.

Can I freeze vegetable soup?

I would NOT recommend freezing this soup. Neither the potatoes nor the milk freeze well at all, and the some other ingredients don’t turn out the greatest either.

I hope you enjoy!

Notes

I recommend soy, almond, or cashew milk in this recipe. The exact amount of milk you use depends on how you like your soup.

This soup does not reheat well. If you need to make it ahead of time, reheat it very gently and slowly.
