  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced (about 1 cup)
  • 2 celery stalks, diced (about 1 cup)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced or grated
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary (or 1/4 teaspoon dried)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (about 3 sprigs, or heaping 1/4 teaspoon dried)
  • 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes, about 5–7 medium potatoes
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 3 cups low sodium vegetable broth (or chicken stock if not vegetarian)

  • 1 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste

  • 1 14.5 ounce can full-fat coconut cream (or 1.5 cups heavy cream)

Instructions

STOVETOP

  1. Place a large pot or dutch oven on the stove over medium heat. Once the pot is warm, add oil, onions, carrots, celery and a pinch of salt. Cover and sweat the vegetables until the onions are translucent, about 10 minutes.
  2. Add garlic, rosemary and thyme, and cook for 30 seconds. Add potatoes, lemon juice, broth, water, salt, pepper and stir until combined. Bring pot to boil, reduce heat to low and cook covered until potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup coconut cream. Blend in a high speed blender in two batches, or use an immersion blender, until smooth and creamy. Feel free to keep as chunky as you’d like.
  4. Pour soup back into the pot and stir in remaining coconut cream. Serve warm in bowls with your favorite toppings.

SLOW COOKER

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add oil, onions, carrots, celery and a pinch of salt, and sauté until onions are translucent, about 10 minutes.
  2. Transfer to a slow cooker and add garlic, rosemary, thyme, potatoes, lemon juice, broth, water, salt and pepper. Stir until well combined, lock lid and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 6 hours.
  3. Turn off heat and stir in 1 cup coconut cream. Blend in a high speed blender in two batches, or use an immersion blender, until smooth and creamy. Stir in remaining coconut cream. Serve warm in bowls with your favorite toppings.

PRESSURE COOKER

  1. Set the pressure cooker (Instant Pot) to “sauté” mode. Add oil, onions, carrots, celery and a pinch of salt to the pot. Sauté until onions are translucent, about 10 minutes.
  2. Add garlic, rosemary, thyme, potatoes, lemon juice, broth, water, salt and pepper. Stir ingredients in the pot until well combined. Close the lid, make sure the valve stem is set to sealed. Set pot to “manual” mode on “high pressure” for 10 minutes.
  3. Quick release the pressure and remove lid. Stir in 1 cup coconut cream. Blend in a high speed blender in two batches, or use an immersion blender, until smooth and creamy. Stir in remaining coconut cream. Serve warm in bowls with your favorite toppings.
