Equipment
- Medium sauce pan
- High speed Blender
Ingredients
- 2 cups potatoes diced 280g
- 1 cup carrots diced 120g
- ½ cup onions diced 60g
- 2-3 cups water or vegetable stock, reserve 1/2 cup enough to cover vegetables plus 1/2 inch (the amount of water will be dependent upon the stock pot size)
- ½ cup nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp onion granules
- 1 tsp sriracha or any other hot sauce optional, add more if you like it hot
- ½ tsp garlic granules
- ½ tsp ground mustard seed
- ¼ tsp ground turmeric
- ¼ tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place potatoes, carrots, and onion in a medium saucepan. Cover vegetables with water (or vegetable stick) plus 1/2 inch. Bring to a boil and cook until soft – usually 15-20 minutes. Once they’re fork tender drain but reserve the poaching liquid.
- While vegetables are cooking, add the nutritional yeast and dry spices to your blender. Place measured vinegar in small bowl and set aside.
- Once the vegetables are fork tender, drain reserving ½ cup of poaching liquid. Allow to slightly cool and add to your blender. Add the vinegar and 1/4 cup poaching liquid.You may need to work in batches. Blend until all the cooked vegetables are smooth and creamy resembling melted Velveeta or nacho cheese.
- If it’s too thick you can add additional reserved poaching liquid or warm water (1 tablespoon at a time) while you’re blending. Before transferring to a bowl, place a cloth to cover the top of the blender lid to avoid burning from potentially hot steam of built up pressure when top is loosened.
- If using immediately you shouldn’t have to reheat on the stove as the veggies will still be hot.
