Ingredients

Scale

  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or whole milk

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another 1–2 minutes.

  3. Gradually incorporate the vegetable broth while stirring continuously. Add the diced potatoes, thyme, dill, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika if desired; bring to a boil.
  4. Lower heat and simmer uncovered for about 20–25 minutes until potatoes are tender.
  5. Using an immersion blender or stand blender, partially blend the soup for a creamy texture while leaving some chunks.
  6. Stir in almond milk (or whole milk) and shredded cheddar cheese until melted; simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
