Vegan Potato Soup Recipe

Place the olive oil into a large soup pot and place over a medium-high flame.

Add shallots and cook it for 2 minutes until they start to soften. 

Stir in the crushed cloves of garlic and cook for a minute until fragrant.

Stir in the potatoes and cook for 1 minute.

Stir in the vegetable broth 2 cups of water and bay leaf. Bring to a boil.

Decrease heat to medium-low. Cook the vegan potato soup for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender. 

Remove the potato soup from the stove and let the soup sit for 5-10 minutes.

Place the potato soup into a high-speed blender in batches and blend on low until it reaches your desired consistency.

Combine 2 tablespoons of water and the cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth.

Return the potato soup to the pot and add the cornstarch mixture, coconut milk, salt, and pepper and stir to combine.
