Ingredients

  • 1 onion diced
  • 2 celery stalks diced
  • 5 cloves garlic. minced
  • 8 cups diced potatoes
  • 2 cups chopped kale
  • 3 ½ cups veggie broth
  • cup nutritional yeast
  • 2 teaspoons dry parsley
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ cup raw cashews (optional)
  • 1 cups non-dairy milk

Instructions

To cook in the Instant Pot:

  • On the Saute setting, saute the onion and celery until the onion is tender. Use a small amount of water to keep the vegetables from sticking.
  • Add in the garlic, and saute for another minute or two.
  • Add the potatoes, kale, vegetable broth, nutritional yeast, dry parsley, salt, and pepper. Cook on the Manual setting for 5 minutes, with a natural pressure release.
  • Place two or three cups of the potato soup mixture in a blender with the cashews and non-dairy milk. Blend until smooth. Pour this mixture into the Instant Pot.

To cook on the stove top

  • In a large stockpot, saute the onions and celery, adding small amounts of water as necessary to keep the vegetable from sticking and to deglaze the pan.
  • When the onions are soft and translucent, add the garlic and saute for about 2 more minutes, until the garlic is fragrant.
  • Add in the potatoes, kale, veggie broth, nutritional yeast, dry parsley, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  • Place two or three cups of the potato soup mixture in a blender with the cashews and non-dairy milk. Blend until smooth. Pour this mixture into the soup pot and stir to combine.

Notes

The cashews add a wonderful creaminess to this soup. If you are on a nut free diet, they can be left out and the soup is still absolutely delicious!
