Vegan MoFo Day 26 - Cream of Potato Soup

It seems like I’m on a bit of a soup kick.  Soup is probably my favorite food group!  I love to have it available to heat up.  I really like homemade soup the best and I’m trying to get away from canned/processed foods.  

Cream of Potato Soup

2 big potatoes peeled and cubed
1 medium onion chopped
1 Tablespoon Earth Balance margarine
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon dried thyme
1 cup coconut milk (or other milk alternative)



Chop the medium onion and saute in the Earth Balance until soft.  



Add the salt and dried thyme; stir.  While the onions are cooking peel and cube the potatoes 



and add to the onion mixture.  



Add enough water to cover.  Cook over medium heat until the potatoes are soft.



Add mixture to a blender and add the coconut milk (or use an immersion blender - I still don't have one here!)  Blend until smooth.   Put back into sauce pan and heat to desired temperature.  



At this point you may want to thin out the soup with more coconut milk or water.  Add salt and pepper to taste.  Makes 4 bowls of soup.

I’m not a fan of parsley but I would consider putting some parsley and or slice up some green onions for a garnish for this soup since it is kind of boring looking.  I love the flavor though!  

I like to thin soups out a bit and put them in a mug to sip too.  I will probably do that with the leftovers of this soup.
