I'm not exactly sure how this happened. But somehow and some way, this Instant Pot vegan potato soup has a "meaty" flavor. Now, that is not the point - to have food taste like meat. But when eating a strict plant-based diet, I'll take any meaty flavor I can get! And, additionally, is actually more of a potato-vegetable chowder than a soup.

Servings: 8 cups
Calories: 178kcal
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 cup yellow onions diced
- ½ cup celery diced
- ⅔ cup carrots peeled, diced
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 Tbsp. garlic minced
- 2 Tbsp. white wine vinegar
- 4 cups vegetable stock
- 1 ½ tsp. sea salt
- ½ tsp. black pepper
- 3 lbs. red or gold potatoes skin-on, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Using sauté setting – Add oil, onions, carrots, and celery. Cook for about 5 minutes (until onions are translucent and carrots begin to soften).
- Add vinegar, garlic, and bay leaf and continue cooking for 2 minutes, until vinegar has evaporated.
- Add vegetable stock, salt, pepper, and potatoes, then mix well. Lock lid and cook for 7 minutes at high pressure.
- Once time is complete, quick-release pressure then remove lid.
- Remove bay leaf and mash well with a potato masher. (I don't recommend using any kind of blender because the soup will become super starchy.)
- Ladle into a bowl and top with caramelized onions and/or fresh green onions.

I just made this for my vegan husband. I used russet potatoes , rice wine vinegar and once it was done I added a can of coconut milk then topped the bowl with nutritional yeast! So good!
Gary White
That's a great conversion! I never would have though of coconut milk. Glad you liked the method!
Kathleen Dallmann
Great recipe!!! Luckily, I had all the ingredients at home ready to go. Thanks for the share, how do I get to your other recipes? Do you have more vegan instant recipes??
Maria O
Made this for dinner tonight. Delicious. I added kale when it was done and waited a couple minutes to eat. So good and super early.
Gary
Glad you enjoyed it!
Lauren
Slow clap good sir. I'm not a full time vegan but I am trying to eat a healthier, more sustainable diet when I can, and this was FANTASTIC. I added nutrional yeast before pressure cooking for the familiar cheese flavor but kept everything else the same. I used red potatoes with the skin on, and after mashing, the skin fell off into nice bacon-esque clumps-that was a fun surprise! I think I overpoured the vinegar but otherwise this was a slam dunk.
Pam
This is a keeper recipe! My son and I loved it! So very yummy! Thank you!
Gary
You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it!
Bridget
So easy and yummy
Cheryl
The recipe is great! I made a few modifications. I love how using a potato masher creates a soup with some texture. I added 1/4 c nutritional yeast, and about 1/2 tsp liquid smoke. I took this recipe to a potluck and people raved about it! In the future, I will add 1 tsp salt at a time and taste before adding any more. High blood pressure is in the family, and the salt amount is too high for my DH. I would also do the same with the pepper.
Kate
Delicious! I made this tonight and hubby went back for three helpings! I am definitely not a chef but every recipe that I have tried from your website has worked for me, no mean feat!
Thank you 🙂
Michele Gallant
Although I haven't had time to make this soup I can see from the ingredients and preparation that it will be superb! I just found your website and am so happy I did! You are now marked as one of my favorites! I will definitely be trying this and many more of your delicious looking recipes!

I made a mistake and just threw all the ingredients in without sauteing. I hope its still good.
Chef Gary
Well... How did it go?
Liz
Made this soup and we loved it. Tasty and filling.
Nancy Paris
This was amazing. Best soup I ever ate. It was hard to believe it had such full flavor without meat. The texture was just right.
Thanks for sharing.
Chef Gary
Wow, what a great thing to say! I'm really glad you it enjoyed it so much.
Richard
Whoa!! This soup is outstanding!! My wife was needing some comfort food so when i found the recipe i went with it. The wife is a tiny little lady but is enjoying her third bowl....thanks for sharing....
Chef Gary
Thanks for giving this recipe a try and sharing your review! And I'm really glad you guys enjoyed it so much.
Katie
Love how flavorful and filling this soup is!
Marsha
Wow. Great flavor, it's a hit here.
Chef Gary
Awesome! So glad you liked it 🙂
Amanda
I made this tonight and it was super flavorful! So easy and filling. I didn't mash the potatoes - just left them in pieces and let them kind of fall apart. This will for sure be on rotation in our house - thank you!!
Michelle
I am newer to the Instant Pot. I made this last night and although the taste was good, the end result was more like mashed potatoes than a soup. The only thing that comes to mind is that I am at 5000' elevation which probably affects evaporation...going to research this.
Chef Gary
Hmmm.. That's interesting. Please let me know what you find out.
Bekah
Could you do the Sautee part earlier in the day and then pour the rest in and set the timer for dinner time?
Chef Gary
I don't see why you couldn't do that. I might be just a little concerned about it sitting at room temperature for an extended period of time though. Bad bacteria love to grow in lukewarm food.
Jane
A full tablespoon of salt seemed a lot to me so I did less. The soup was delicious! Great tasting and easy recipe. Thanks.
Chef Gary
When you account for 3 pounds of potatoes and all the other veggies, 1 Tbsp really isn't that much. So glad you liked it though! And thanks for your feedback.
Heather
Delicious! I have a happy lunch for the upcoming week! I added some red pepper flakes, because I kind of always add red pepper flakes! I omitted the salt entirely, figuring I could add as needed to individual servings. I had a sample size fresh from the Instapot with some nutritional yeast added and did not need to add salt. Great recipe!
Joni
I made this soup for my family last night, and it was delicious! We went vegan 5 weeks ago, and I am building my repertoire of recipes that are well received by the whole family. My teenage son asked if we could have this again, so you know it was a hit! To bump up the protein, I added 2 cups of cooked great northern beans. They just disappear into the soup. My son runs cross country and burns a ton of calories, so I was just trying to sneak in a little extra fuel for him. We'll be having this again soon!
Chef Gary
? So glad you liked it!
