How To Make Potato Soup (without milk)

To make this potato soup recipe, simply:

  • Bake the potatoes: Preheat the oven to 450° with rack in center. Wash potatoes and pierce with a fork. Rub potatoes with oil and salt. Bake directly on the rack for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until tender all the way through when pierced with a skewer. Remove potatoes from the oven, split in half and cool slightly.
  • Prepare skin to use as topping: Scoop out and lightly mash the potato (reserve skins); set aside. Cut skin in strips and toss with a little oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in a 400° oven for 15 minutes, or until crispy.

While the strips are baking, make the soup:

  • Sauté onion in melted plant-based butter until soft, about 5 minutes. Whisk in flour; cook 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in broth and milk. Cook and stir until thick, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Add potato and simmer for 5 minutes. Mash the potato more for a creamier consistency.
  • Stir in parsley and salt & pepper.
  • Serve soup warm and top with potato skins and sunflower seeds.
