How to Make Creamy Vegan Tuscan Soup
Sauté the Aromatics
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Build the Flavor
Stir in sun-dried tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, basil, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes to enhance the flavors.
Simmer the Soup
Add potatoes, white beans, and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Make It Creamy
Stir in the coconut milk and nutritional yeast. Let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Finish with Greens & Acid
Stir in kale or spinach and lemon juice (or balsamic vinegar). Simmer for 2 more minutes until the greens are wilted.
Taste & Serve
Adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot with crusty bread or a sprinkle of extra nutritional yeast.
Tips & Variations
Make it gluten-free: Naturally gluten-free! Just pair with GF bread if needed.
Boost the protein: Add extra white beans or crumbled plant-based sausage.
Thicker consistency? Blend half the soup for a rich, creamy texture.
Swap coconut milk: Use cashew cream or unsweetened oat milk for a different base.
This soup is even better the next day, so it’s perfect for meal prep!
