Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 2 russet potatoes, peeled and roughly chopped
- 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon chopped onion
- 8-10 baby carrots (or 2-3 regular size carrots)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Liquids & Seasonings
- 32 oz. vegetable stock
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Vegetables: Peel the russet and sweet potatoes and chop them roughly. Chop the onion and mince the garlic to prepare for cooking.
- Add to Crockpot: Place the chopped potatoes, onion, minced garlic, and baby carrots into the crockpot. Pour in the 32 oz. vegetable stock and stir gently to combine.
- Slow Cook: Set the crockpot to cook on low for 8 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the vegetables to soften thoroughly.
- Blend the Soup: Once cooked, add the nutritional yeast and cayenne pepper to the crockpot. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup right in the pot until it reaches a silky smooth texture.
- Season to Taste: Taste the soup and add salt and pepper as needed. Since vegetable stock sodium levels vary, adjust seasoning slowly to achieve the desired flavor.
Notes
- Using an immersion blender allows for easy blending directly in the crockpot without transferring to a separate appliance.
- Adjust cayenne pepper amount to suit your spice preference.
- This soup stores well in the refrigerator for 3-4 days and can be frozen for longer storage.
- Substitute vegetable stock with low-sodium option if you prefer less sodium intake.
- For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of plant-based milk before blending.
