Yukon Gold potatoes—instead of cream—make a smooth carrot soup vegan and add a mild sweetness. If you don't have Yukon Golds on hand, russet potatoes will work, too. —Taste of Home Test Kitchen, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Test Kitchen tips

Most people think they need to peel carrots before using them, but you don't! Save yourself the extra step and just give them a good scrub as you would any other fresh produce.
