Soup Success Tips
When making your vegan soup recipes take note of these tips:
- Use a nice big soup pot. I like to use my 6 quart Dutch Oven.
- Always saute the veggies like onion, garlic, celery and carrot before adding the liquids and other ingredients. It's tempting to just throw it all in but you lose so much flavor that way.
- Use a good quality stock. They vary in quality greatly.
- Simmer gently, don't boil.
- Add leafy greens right at the end, about 5 minutes before you're ready to eat.
- Season well. Vegan soups in particular need a generous amount of seasoning.
- Different brands of vegetable broth contain widely different salt levels. It's important to taste your soup and adjust accordingly.
- Make plenty and enjoy the leftovers! Most soups get better over a day or two as the flavor develops and they freeze so well.
- Adjust the texture of your soup to suit your preference. Keep it chunky, give it a few blasts with an immersion blender to partially blend it, or transfer to a blender and blend until smooth. Note that you might need to thin with a little more stock or water when you blend a soup as it will become thicker.
Delicious Soup Sides
Looking for soup sides? I have plenty of vegan salad recipes, but for me, bread for dunking is a must with any soup. Check out these delicious bread and biscuit recipes:
Vegan Soup FAQs
It is possible to can some homemade soups but they must be pressure canned. My recipes however aren't developed with the intention of canning. I recommend following only recipes that have been tested with canning-friendly ingredients, processing times, and canner pressure.
This is as simple as adding more liquid. Depending on the recipe you can use stock, water, vegan cream, unsweetened and unflavored plant milk, beer, or wine.
If you have time simply let it simmer with the lid off for a while so that the liquid naturally evaporates. This will result in a sightly thicker soup. My favorite quick way to thicken soup is to give it a blitz (or 2) with an immersion blender. If you don't have an immersion blender scoop out a couple of cups of soup into a blender, blend then add back to the pan.
