Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ cup onion diced
  • 1 celery stalk chopped
  • 3 large potatoes peeled and cut into small chunks
  • 1 seedless cucumber peeled & cut into small chunks
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 48 ounce container vegetable broth
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 handful chives finely chopped

Instructions

  • Prep all of the ingredients and place in a large pot or dutch oven.
  • Simmer on medium low for approximately 30 minutes or until potatoes feel soft when pierced with a fork. Add salt & pepper to taste.
  • Ladle soup to a blender, and process until smooth, in batches. Caution: Remove the top opening on blender to allow hot air to escape when blending - cover lightly with a dish towel to protect from splattering.
  • Pour into a bowl, cool to room temperature on counter for ½ hour and place in refrigerator for at least 1 hour to cool completely. 
  • Serve in a bowl topped with chopped chives. (*optional: top with vegan sour cream)

Notes

You can use an Instant Pot to reduce the cooking time.
*It tastes yummy with non-dairy milk added or topped with sour cream.
