Welcome to another month of Cook With Sam Club! 💚
Every month, we cook one recipe together as a community, and for October we're making my Creamy Vegan Potato Soup! 🥔🍲 It's creamy, cozy, easy to make, and basically a loaded baked potato in soup form. Perfect for soup season!
And one of my favorite things about this recipe is the toppings. Load up your bowl with vegan cheese, vegan bacon, green onions, chives, vegan sour cream, or whatever sounds good to you. I can't wait to see how you make yours!

This was a delicious soup! Will definitely make again.
Adrienne says
Made this tonight, and it was so very yummy. I did skip the coconut milk (to save WW points). My fave substitution is to use a cup of plant based milk, to which I add 1/4 tsp.of coconut extract. I topped mine with a sprinkle of fresh parsley, black sesame seeds and more nutritional yeast sprinkled on top.
