METHOD
TO MAKE THE SOUP
Fill a large pot halfway with water and add the potatoes. Bring to a boil over high-medium heat, then reduce to a low heat and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until fork tender. Return the potatoes to the pot after draining.
Heat the coconut oil in a small saucepan over medium heat, then sauté the onion until translucent. To the potatoes, stir in the onion, vegetable broth, non-dairy milk, yoghurt, nutritional yeast, tomato paste, and mustard.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low.
Purée about half of the mixture with an immersion blender (see note) to keep it chunky. Simmer for 10 minutes more after adding the salt, black pepper, and cayenne.
