As I write this, it’s a rainy, windy day here in Florida. It’s not cold by any means but it still feels like a good day for soup. If it’s soup weather where you live, I highly recommend this Plant-Based Loaded Potato Soup, made with simple, wholesome ingredients like potatoes, onions, veggie broth, and Loca Foods’ potato-based cheese sauce.
For the queso sauce, you can choose either the mild or hot version, depending on whether you want some spiciness to your soup. The rest of these ingredients are super easy to find and you might have all of them on-hand!
I like to blend only half of the soup to create some creaminess with some chunks of potatoes, but if you like a fully creamy soup, you can blend the entire batch. This is a hearty soup that serves 6 and you can serve it alongside a salad and with some crusty gluten-free bread for dipping.
