    This healthy, creamy soup is made with no cream, its simply pureed with a little sour cream, which you can totally omit if you want to keep it dairy free. I watered a little sour cream down and drizzled a little more on top. Perfect for a light lunch, or to serve with a sandwich or a salad.,Creamed soups dont have to be loaded with heavy cream. There are several ways you can make your own creamy soups. First, get yourself an immersion blender (affil link) if you dont already own one. This is probably my all time favorite kitchen gadget. Its so much easier than putting hot soup into a blender in several batches, trust me!,The simple act of pureeing your soup once cooked can transform your soup into a creamy delicious soup. This works great with beans, legumes or vegetable soups. To do so, use slightly less broth or liquid than you normally would.,Add a potato along with your vegetables to further thicken your soup when you puree. This is great for soups with leafy greens or if you want to make your soup more substantial.,Make a roux or a slurry. My dad always made a roux in his creamy cauliflower soup which was my favorite soup growing up. Ill talk more about making a roux or slurry in a minute.,When you want the taste of cream, adding a few tablespoons of sour cream is my favorite way to get that creamy flavor you get from heavy cream as I did in this soup.,You can see more Soup Recipes here!
