dairy free cheesy vegetable soup recipe

What do you crave in the cold winter months? Comfort food, right?

Cheesy, creamy, tasty recipes that will warm you up and keep you full.

It’s been a long time since I’ve had a cheese based soup, so I thought I would try to make it with dairy free substitutions. This dairy free cheesy vegetable soup turned out to be very tasty! And it’s so incredibly simple, plus it’s a fast and easy recipe that’s perfect for busy weeks.

If you don’t need to be dairy free, you can go ahead and make this cheesy vegetable soup with regular cheese and regular milk. It will still be delicious.

What should I serve with dairy free cheesy vegetable soup?

You can serve a crunchy green salad, easy corn muffins, or vegan stuffed mushrooms to round out this meal.

What dairy free milk works best for soup recipes?

I think a neutral tasting milk is best. I like So Delicious unsweetened coconut milk. You could try unsweetened rice milk or flax milk if you like. If you don’t have allergies, almond or soy milk would also work.

What dairy free cheese tastes the most like real cheese?

Everyone has different tastes, so I can’t tell you which dairy free cheese you will like best. Daiya cheddar shreds work really well in this recipe. Try a few varieties of vegan cheese and see which one works for you! Make sure to read the label to find a variety that is safe for your dietary needs.

This post has lots of information and reviews on various vegan cheeses.

Should I use fresh vegetables or frozen vegetables in soup recipes?

You can use either in this recipe! If you are short on time, frozen vegetables are a good option because they are already cleaned and chopped.

If you make the rice ahead of time, this soup can be made in just 15 minutes. How’s that for a speedy meal?

Another quick and easy soup recipe is this white bean potato soup – so delicious!

There are so many ways to make comfort food without dairy or gluten. View a few of the recipes in the video below:

    Can you use flax or oat milk instead of coconut milk?
