Vegetable Soup (Gluten Free and Vegan)
When I need a wholesome, low calorie and easy dinner this gluten free homemade vegetable soup is the recipe that I turn to. It is naturally gluten free and vegan. This Vegan Vegetable Soup recipe is hearty, healthy and anything goes with this.
Vegan Vegetable Soup is the perfect recipe to clean out the fridge. A little bit of this and that totally goes. You simply can not go wrong!

How do you make simple vegetable soup?
To make things easier if I donโt have veggies to use up in the fridge, I use a few bags of frozen organic mixed veggies. I usually stock up on them when there is a sale and then I can turn to a recipe like this if I forget to thaw meat, or just because I want to keep it healthy and delicious.
My family enjoys this gluten free homemade vegetable soup with my French Bread recipe from my cookbook. Even my picky kids eat this with minimal complaints and I feel happy because its healthy.
Another reason why I turn to this vegan vegetable soup recipe time and time again, is because you can make it on the stovetop, or in an instant pot, or crock pot.
I originally created this vegan vegetable soup recipe after I wrote the cookbook. During the cookbook process I gained 5 pounds while writing the book and those 5 made me feel self conscious and just not as well.
I wanted a hearty and healthy meal that I could eat for lunch and dinner while I got those extra pounds off. I made it for myself for dinner and made spaghetti for the rest of the family.
They all saw the soup and wanted some. It was so good that they asked for it again the next day. Ever since then I added it into the monthly meal plan rotation. If I am trying to keep it light I just allow myself one slice of bread to go with it.
How do you make this vegan vegetable soup recipe gluten free?
Well it is actually very simple, because it is naturally gluten free and vegan soup. I like to keep things simple and healthy, so in order to make it easy I use frozen mixed veggies. This is how you make healthy vegetable soup…
- You need to cut your onion and garlic. Saute it in the instant pot with your oil.
- Add the frozen veggies, potatoes and zucchini. No zucchini? No problem, add an extra potato.
- Cook up the veggies for a moment and then add your tomatoes.
- Stir up and add the broth (vegetable) and all of the seasonings and herbs.
- Cook in your instant pot on the soup setting, or simmer on the stove.
- Then enjoy it!
What do you put in homemade vegetable soup?
This is best part! Anything goes! However, I love potatoes, carrots, peas, tomatoes, and greens beans. We now avoid corn for family meals, so you could easily swap the corn for a white bean in place.
This gluten free vegan vegetable soup recipe also reheats very well. You can make it on a Sunday and feel confident about reheating it and serving it later in the week. I have not tried to freeze this one yet, but that will be on my radar for the future.
I am working on a freezer meal plan and possibly doing a workshop. Early spring will likely be when I roll that out, so stay tuned!
Now that the weather has changed and colds are starting to go around, this will be the perfect vegan vegetable soup recipe that is gluten free to warm you up and give your body some fuel!
