Nothing beats a steamy bowl of potato soup on a chilly day—especially when it’s velvety smooth and gluten-free. This comforting dish is punctuated by earthy herbs and a hint of garlic, turning a few pantry staples into a crowd-pleasing meal that’s both simple and satisfying.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 4 cups gluten-free chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk (or dairy milk if preferred)
- Chopped fresh chives or parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Begin by warming the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about five minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute, allowing the flavors to mingle without burning the garlic.
Next, add the cubed potatoes along with the broth, thyme, and rosemary. Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15–20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender enough to pierce easily with a fork. Season with salt and black pepper.
Once the potatoes are fully cooked, turn off the heat. Carefully use an immersion blender (or transfer the soup to a blender in batches) to purée the mixture until smooth and creamy. Stir in the almond milk for a silky finish. Adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Ladle the hot soup into bowls and top each with a sprinkle of fresh chives or parsley for a bright, herby pop.
This soup is a winner on so many levels: it’s naturally gluten-free, hearty enough to please the entire family, and easy to adapt to various dietary needs. If you’re looking to cut down on dairy, almond milk or any non-dairy substitute works beautifully. For extra decadence, top it with crispy bacon bits or a swirl of sour cream. With its comforting flavors and creamy texture, this gluten-free potato soup is a must-have recipe that welcomes everyone to the table.
