If you’re not a fan of traditional vegetable soup, or you’re looking for a delicious way to hide veggies from picky eater, then you’re going to love this flavory, creamy soup. It’s loaded with healthy vegetables and so easy to make.
I’ll be honest, I’m not a big fan of regular vegetable soup–just a bunch of vegetables floating around in some broth. But I’m a huge fan of this Creamy Frozen Vegetable Soup!
Frozen vegetables are cooked in broth until tender, and then blended until smooth. Add some herbs, spices and heavy cream, and you have a thick, creamy delicious soup, without a vegetable in sight.
Not that I have anything against vegetables, but if you’re going to make vegetable soup, this is the way to do it! Not only is this soup hearty and flavorful, it is incredibly easy to make.
Just add a salad and some crusty bread and you have a satisfying meal that even vegetable-haters will love!
I’m also a firm believer that this soup needs toppings. I highly recommend some Buttery Air Fryer Croutons, or something else crunchy, like French fried onions or even popcorn. And a generous sprinkle of shredded cheese.
This soup is a fantastic way to use up all those bags of half-eaten frozen veggies you have sitting in the freezer. And yes, you can use pretty much any kind of frozen veggie out there.
An immersion blender is an incredibly helpful tool for making this recipe, so you can blend your soup right in the pot, rather than having to transfer it to a blender.
Although I prefer to make this soup perfectly smooth, you can leave it a little chunky if you prefer more texture. And if you want to make it a bit lighter, you can use less cream.
Obviously you can also make this recipe with fresh vegetables, or leftover roasted veggies, but you may need to lengthen the initial cooking time to get veggies that are soft and blendable.
If you’re looking for a cozy, heartwarming and healthy soup, made with things you probably already have on hand, be sure to give this Creamy Frozen Vegetable Soup a try.
What Should I Serve with Creamy Frozen Vegetable Soup?
Soup and salad is always a wonderful combination, but since this soup is already loaded with vegetables, I usually serve some nice crusty bread or rolls on the side. Here are some of my favorite options:
- Indian Naan Bread
- Parmesan Garlic Bread Sticks
- Easy Parmesan Garlic Knots
- Ultimate Garlic Bread
- Cheesy Everything Monkey Bread

Tips for Making Creamy Frozen Vegetable Soup
- Don’t worry about following the recipe exactly. If you use a few more vegetables or a bit less broth or cream, your soup will still be delicious.
- Transform this simple soup with additions like grilled chicken, beans or pasta.
- If you don’t have an immersion blender, transfer the soup in batches to an upright blender. Be extra careful with the hot liquid, and never fill the blender more than halfway.
