Brilliant for post-St. Paddy's day leftovers. I can't wait to use up all my excess potatoes!

That's a great alternative to the classic potato-leek soup (that I can't stomach anymore!).
Great combination of flavors and also great nutritional value this soup has!

My all time favourite dish- love potatoes and love my soap

just made this! it was so delicious! i did everything the same except used cauliflower and broccoli instead of just cauliflower(because i bought a bag of them mixed) and the cabbage had some carrots, and more broccoli shreaded in with it. i kept a bit of the water in the pan from the boiled veggies(mostly because it was hard to pour it all out) and it came out thinner, so i just simmered it for a bit. it doesn't say to top with chives but it looks like that is what was done in the picture, so i did that and it was the cherry on top of the cake! i highly recommend (O:

First of all, this blog is super cute and creative because of the artwork. Also, I love the vegan/stoner collaboration of this blog, because it relates to me so well ;) And of course this dish looks amazing.

This is amazing. It is just what I needed on a cold day! I really appreciate all the hard work you went to with the drawings(which are awesome!), and I look forward to making more of your recipes!

God Bless!

Do the potatoes, cabbage and cauliflower have to be drained after boiling before veggie broth is added?

The Vegan Stoner said...

Hi Anonymous,

The potatoes, cabbage, and cauliflower are drained before adding the veggie broth. If the soup is too thick for you, add more veggie broth or water if you are using a very salty broth.

Hope this helps.

My entire family is trying to go vegetarian and I am trying to go back to being a vegetarian. I am making this soup as I speak. The smell coming from the kitchen is driving me mad. I can't wait to try it. I will be blogging about it here.

how much veggie broth?

The Vegan Stoner said...

Hi Vince, thanks for the feedback.

We recommend about a cup of veggie broth in Step 3, but add more if you don't want a thick soup.

Unknown said...

How many people does this feed? Looks great!

The Vegan Stoner said...

Hi Anya. This recipe makes 4-5 servings. We just remade it today to make sure this info is accurate. Hope this helps!

Unknown said...

Hi, I was just needing to know how long to cook all the ingredients in the pot?

The Vegan Stoner said...

Hi Christen. The ingredients don't need to heat long in the pot (Step 4), just long enough to heat. If you like the soup thicker then let it sit longer.

The Vegan Stoner said...

Hi Bill, thanks for the question. We intended the recipe to include 1 head of cauliflower.

Chubbyvegandownunder said...

I just made it and as nice as it tastes it's not fantastic. I think I'll tweak it a bit next time I make it. I do love the fact that it is very healthy.

Anonymous said...

How do you double the recipe? I just doubled the ingredients and it turned out awful...maybe because it was too much garlic :(

The Vegan Stoner said...

Hi everyone! We just updated this recipe.

It seemed like it was creating irregular results for those making it. So we went back to the lab, remade it a few more times, and took out the cauliflower from the original recipe.

We hope people enjoy the new version, and apologies to those who had trouble with the original.

How many calories are in one serving?

Cre8or said...

Glad I got to the comment where you said you updated the recipe because I was confused by the cauliflower comments. I have been very sick for the past few days and unable to eat much. I made a half batch of this soup today and scarfed it! My belly didn't want the cabbage, which I love, so I just ate the potato, chives and broth I feel so much better now! I didn't drain anything, cooked it all in the (salt-free) broth and added a bit of sea-salt and course black pepper. My daughter got your cookbook, for Christmas, from her awesome husband and it inspired me to check you out. I pinned a few of your recipes last night and will be making them all! Thanks for the simple, delicious and nutritious recipes and for the delightful illustrations. You ROCK!

Hi Anonymous,

We don't tend to count calories, which is why it isn't included. However, we did a quick online search and found some very reliable-looking sites that calculate food calories. We will keep your comment in mind, however, and we thank you for the question.

The Vegan Stoner said...

Hi Cre8or,

Thank you for the encouraging story, and we're so happy to hear the recipe worked out for you. Way to be creative.

I made this with thyme instead of chives, & I put it all in the slow-cooker! It was amazing! We call it the "Poor Irish Soup" around here! :D

Robbie said...

very simple Potato Recipes this is easy to prepare and nutritious for my family. Any alternative for vegetable broth? .

The Vegan Stoner said...

Hi Robbie,

Try using any thick liquid. Alternative milks, like oat, cashew, almond, soy, or hemp. If using rice milk note that it will be watered down. Just pay attention to the consistency of the liquid. If using coconut milk try adding something to round out the flavor, a bit of curry or some paprika.

Let us know how it works out if you can!

Wow....yummy yummy soup....looks very healthy.... :-)

Two potatoes = 1lb? 1/2 lb? More? Less? Kinda hard for me to figure out, two of the potatoes I have wouldn't make a teacup's worth.

The Vegan Stoner said...

Hi Anonymous,

We used 2 medium-sized Russet potatoes that equaled to about 1 cup chopped per potato. Using anywhere from 1.5 - 2.25 cups of chopped potato should work. Hope this helps!

Unknown said...

Hi! I have a head of cauliflower that I need to use up and found this recipe on the VegNews website, but this new version doesn't show cauliflower as an ingredient. Can you please tell me where to find that recipe or how to alter it back to your original recipe that had the cauliflower, potato and cabbage in it??? Thanks so much! Di =)

The Vegan Stoner said...

Hi mouth1211!

Thanks for the comment. We changed the recipe because it seemed a lot of people were having issues with it. This is the new-and-improved recipe. However, here's another recipe we wrote, that people seem to like, which has cauliflower in it: Tater Tot Hotdish

cool! thanks sick kids at home today!

xoredvinesxo said...

Hi! Really interested in making this. Quick question: do you blend the cauliflower, the cabbage, and the potatoes or just the cauliflower? Thanks!

The Vegan Stoner said...

Hi xoredvinesxo,

Sorry we have updated this recipe a few times. We took out the cauliflower to make it simpler and a bit thinner. There is no use of a blender in the new recipe. The potato should break down slightly while cooking. You can always blend it if you prefer something smoother and add a bit of cooked cauliflower to thicken it and add more nutrition.

Hope this helps!

Cheers,
TVS
