How to Make Creamy Potato Soup Without Heavy Cream.
Love potato soup but want a lighter, healthier version? You don’t need heavy cream to achieve that rich, velvety texture! With a few smart swaps, you can enjoy a creamy, comforting bowl of potato soup without the extra fat and calories.
Use Blended Potatoes for Natural CreamineInstead of relying on heavy cream, let the potatoes do the work! After cooking, blend part (or all) of the soup using an immersion blender to create a thick, creamy base—no dairy needed.
Greek Yogurt for a Protein BoostAdd a few spoonfuls of plain Greek yogurt for a creamy texture with extra protein. Stir it in at the end to avoid curdling.
Try Coconut Milk for a Dairy-Free OptionUnsweetened canned coconut milk gives a smooth texture with a hint of natural sweetness. Perfect for a vegan-friendly potato soup!
Cauliflower for a Low-Carb TwistBlending steamed cauliflower into the soup lightens it up while keeping it thick and creamy. Bonus: extra fiber and nutrients!
Milk Alternatives for a Lighter TouchSwap heavy cream for low-fat milk, almond milk, or oat milk. They keep the soup smooth without adding unnecessary fat.
Sauté onions and garlic in olive oil. Add diced potatoes, vegetable broth, and herbs. Simmer until soft.
