50+ Easy Vegan Soup Recipes (Healthy)

These tasty vegan soup recipes are easy and healthy. Most of them are plant-based, full of vegetables and a ton of other ingredients that are great for your body and soul! You can make some of them in your instant pot or slow cooker as well.

 

How do you make vegan soup taste better?

Most of the flavor in soup comes from the broth and spices, and non-vegan soup broth is usually very rich in flavor that vegetable broth sometimes lacks.

If your vegan soup tastes bland, try adding umami rich ingredients like vegan bouillon, soup base, mushrooms, seaweed, soy sauce, tomato paste, and spices. These ingredients add flavor without too much extra salt.

Vegan Soup Recipes FAQ

 
Is vegan soup good for you?

It depends on the ingredients. Vegan soup is better for you than non-vegan soup because it is cholesterol free and usually lower in fat. However, all soup, vegan or non-vegan, often contains a lot of salt. Keep an eye on the salt content and ingredients in your soup to ensure that it’s healthy and low in oils and fat.

What can soups are vegan?

Most mainstream canned soups contain chicken or beef broth, even vegetable soups, so be sure to read the ingredients. Brands like Amy’s, Gardein, Upton’s Naturals, and Pacific offer several vegan soup options from minestrone to lentil to Italian wedding soup.

How do vegans thicken soup?

Vegans can thicken soup by choosing vegetables, grains, and proteins that contain starches like carrots, potatoes, rice, beans, and lentils. If you just need to thicken your soup and don’t want to switch up the ingredients, you can mix a starch or flour with liquid and stir it into your soup.
