Questions people ask about Cream of Vegetable Soup
How long does Cream of Vegetable Soup take?
About 35 minutes from starting to sitting down, and it is straightforward. Most of that is active, so read the method through before you start rather than chopping as you go.
What is the one thing to get right in Cream of Vegetable Soup?
Sauté the cauliflower, carrot, turnip and onion in the butter until they take real colour. Don't rush this.
What can I use instead of cream in Cream of Vegetable Soup?
Use full-fat coconut milk for a dairy-free version, or whole milk thickened with 1 tsp cornflour. Neither is as stable, so add them off the heat.
Can I make Cream of Vegetable Soup ahead of time?
You can prepare it a few hours ahead and reheat gently. It keeps two days in the fridge, though it is best on the day.
Is Cream of Vegetable Soup vegetarian?
Yes, it is vegetarian. It is not vegan as written because it contains dairy; swap the dairy for a plant alternative and the rest of the method is unchanged.
What do you serve with Cream of Vegetable Soup?
Bread, potatoes or a simple salad. It serves two as written. Double everything to feed four, but use a wider pan so the food still browns rather than steams.
