You know what bums me out? When restaurants put flour in soup. I mean, what is up with that? I get the concept of a roux, but you can thicken soup in so many other ways!

I use a vegetable to make a “roux!” I make my “roux” by blending a cooked potato with coconut milk (you can definitely use heavy cream or whole milk if you’re not dairy-free). I know what you’re thinking… “Ashley, you are brilliant! Also, I didn’t know you could read minds!” Yes, friends, not only can I read minds – I can also predict the future. My prediction: you will make and love this soup. Come back and tell me if I was right! Like this recipe? Pin it to your favorite Pinterest board now so you will remember to make it later!
