1 cup (medium) of Creamy Vegetable Soup (240 g) has 132 calories. That works out to 55 calories per 100 g. It contains 17.3 g of carbs, 3.6 g of protein, 5.3 g of fat and 4.1 g of fiber. Its 432 µg of Vitamin A covers 48% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 45 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Creamy Vegetable Soup is a smooth, comforting soup made by cooking vegetables such as carrots, potatoes or squash in stock, then blending them; milk or cream may be added for richness. It is made in many cuisines rather than belonging to one particular place, and recipes often change with the season and the vegetables at hand. The texture is velvety, with a mild, gently sweet flavour, and it is often finished with herbs.
Serve it as a first course or a light lunch, with bread or a sandwich; it also makes an easy supper on a cool day. It brings vegetables and some fibre to the meal, while remaining relatively low in protein. For a lighter bowl, use less cream and rely on blended vegetables for body, or pair it with a bean salad or another protein-rich side.

An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Cook chopped vegetables with onion until tender, add stock, and simmer until everything is soft. Blend the soup until smooth, then stir in cream near the end and warm it gently without letting it boil.
Carrots, potatoes, cauliflower, broccoli, and leeks all work well in creamy vegetable soup. Potato gives the blended soup body, while cauliflower makes it velvety without a strong flavor. Add vegetables in stages so they finish cooking at the same time.
Creamy vegetable soup can curdle when cream is added to a rapidly boiling pot or heated too fiercely afterward. Lower the heat, stir the cream in gradually, and keep the soup below a boil; acidic ingredients can also make dairy split.
Yes, but the cream may separate and make creamy vegetable soup grainy after thawing. For the smoothest result, freeze the soup before adding cream, thaw it in the refrigerator, reheat gently, and stir in the cream just before serving.
Creamy vegetable soup keeps for about three days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Cool it promptly after cooking, and reheat only the portion you plan to eat so the rest stays chilled.
Reheat creamy vegetable soup slowly in a saucepan over low heat, stirring often, and stop before it boils. If it has thickened in the fridge, loosen it with a splash of stock or milk as it warms.
Crusty bread, garlic toast, or a grilled cheese sandwich pairs well with creamy vegetable soup. For a lighter meal, serve it with a crisp salad; crunchy croutons or toasted seeds add contrast to the soup’s smooth texture.
Yes, frozen vegetables work well in creamy vegetable soup and can go straight into the pot without thawing. Simmer them until tender, then blend; they may release extra water, so adjust the amount of stock to keep the soup thick.
Blend some of the cooked vegetables back into creamy vegetable soup to thicken it without flour. Potato, cauliflower, or beans work particularly well; add them gradually and blend again until the soup reaches the texture you want.
For smooth creamy vegetable soup, cook the vegetables until completely tender before blending, then blend in batches if needed. Stir in the cream after blending and avoid a hard boil, which can leave the soup separated or uneven.
