2bay leaves
Instructions
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, celery, and carrots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 10 minutes.
Add the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Cook for an additional minute until the garlic is fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables, stirring to coat them evenly. Cook for about 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually add the vegetable broth and non-dairy milk to the pot, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Add the chopped potatoes, thyme, and bay leaves. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
Remove the bay leaves. Use an immersion blender to purée the soup to your desired consistency. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
