Comforting and delicious creamy potato soup is gluten free and perfect for cold days.

This is a delicious cream of potato soup that doesn’t take all day long to make! This recipe is gluten free, with dairy free options given. You will love this comforting soup – it’s just right on a cold day.

Remember the days of running into a cafe and ordering a big bowl of soup? Maybe it was cream of potato, maybe French onion, maybe even cheesy broccoli soup. Either way, if you have food allergies, grabbing a bowl of soup on the go probably isn’t as easy as it used to be.

I still love soup for lunch or dinner, and just because it isn’t safe for us to eat at certain restaurants, that doesn’t mean my family has to miss out on the simple pleasure of a rich, hot, delicious bowl of potato soup.

This cream of potato soup recipe is the one that I grew up eating, but have now adapted to suit our needs. My mom got the recipe from our neighbor, Mrs. Brown. Mrs. Brown also made an amazing apple pie. This soup is a very simple recipe, and we just love it. We can easily make it gluten free by using a gluten free flour blend instead of all purpose flour.

If you are dairy free, you can use dairy free yogurt or sour cream and dairy free milk in place of the regular sour cream and milk.

This soup is very good, and we double the recipe because we like it so much. A huge pot full of potato soup just reminds me of my childhood, and is so comforting. This is a great lunch or dinner when served with rolls or a side salad.

Ingredient Notes

  • Potatoes – I love to use Yukon Gold potatoes in soup because they have a great flavor and texture. You could use red skinned potatoes if you prefer, they would also work well.
  • Broth – Use any brand of broth or stock that works for your dietary needs.
  • Ham – You can use leftover holiday ham, ham steaks, or even deli ham in this recipe.
  • Milk – If you can have dairy, feel free to use whole milk or 2% milk. If you are dairy free, you can use your favorite dairy free milk.

Substitutions

  • Instead of green onions, you can use a sweet onion or even leeks.
  • If you prefer bacon, you can use that instead of ham.
  • If you are dairy free, you can use dairy free milk and dairy free sour cream.

Step by Step Instructions

  1. Place the chopped potatoes, onions, and celery in a large pot.
