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

Everyone loves 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 soup with regular cheese and regular milk. It will still be delicious.

Ingredient Notes

  • Non-Dairy Milk – 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.
  • Non-Dairy Cheese – Everyone has different tastes, so I can’t tell you which dairy free cheese you will like best. I like the Daiya Cheddar Style Block – I just shred it myself. 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.
  • Vegetables – You can use either fresh or frozen vegetables in this recipe! If you are short on time, frozen vegetables are a good option because they are already cleaned and chopped.

Step by Step Instructions

  1. Cook the rice of your choice according to package directions. Set aside.

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