Step 1
Melt some vegan butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Once it’s melted, add the vegetable broth along with the chopped potato, carrots, onion, celery, and fresh ginger. Cover the pot and let everything simmer gently, stirring now and then, until the potatoes are soft—this should take about 30 minutes. After that, take the lid off and let the soup cool for about 15 minutes.
Step 2
Carefully blend the soup in batches until it’s nice and smooth. Pour the pureed soup back into the pot, then stir in the coconut cream. Season it with curry powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Keep it on low heat and warm everything through for another 10 minutes before serving.
Perfect Pairings
Serve warm with a drizzle of coconut cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or chives. Pair it with crusty bread or a light salad to make a satisfying meal.
