This Cozy Vegan Autumn Veggie Potato Creamy Soup Soup is full of hearty seasonal vegetables and wild rice, it’s wonderfully creamy and comforting, and easy to make in the Instant Pot, Crock-Pot or on the stove top.
For those days when you’re craving a cozy, creamy, comforting bowl of soup…I have the perfect new recipe for you.
It’s a riff on a dish I grew up and love. A coconut milk stew. I’ve loaded this soup up with lots of seasonal veggies, but you can add shredded chicken to it too. And added in some bolder savory seasonings. The coconut milk is creamy and delicate, instead of heavy cream. And the result?
Basically the most delicious, hearty, sweet-and-savory, thick-and-creamy, comforting soup a girl could ask for. ♡
Plus, more good news! It’s easy to make in either the Instant Pot (pressure cooker), Crock-Pot (slow cooker), or on the stovetop — your choice. And you can adapt the recipe to be gluten-free and/or vegan, if you prefer. Options, options. So if you’re ready to cozy up with a warm bowl of soup yourself, load up a shopping bag full of veggies and wild rice, and let’s make some together.
My love for Indian flavored soups is not new. I love and enjoy soups with robust flavors, like this Chickpea Spicy Soup, Indian inspired spicy carrot soup with walnut crumble,and my favorite Vegetarian Mulligatawny
Here is yet another Veggie soup that I enjoy making.

Yum! I love that this is non-dairy. It’s been so cold here lately, but I could really use a soup like this.
