Vegan Alfredo Soup has all the flavors of the famous pasta dish but it is completely dairy-free. Rich, creamy, fast, easy and memorable.
Dairy-Free Pasta Alfredo Soup is just that recipe. What makes it even more fun is that this recipe is vegan, through and through.
There are a couple of hints to making this Alfredo easier and fool-proof. They are to precook the carrots and also the pasta.
Then you just concentrate on making the creamy rich soup base. Combine it all together, heat and eat it all up.
You would think that a recipe like this would be packed full of fats but that isn’t true. The original non-vegan version is high fats but not this one.
Dairy-Free Pasta Alfredo Soup
Ingredients
- 4 carrots cut into bite size chunks
- 10 ounces penne pasta
- 1/4 cup onion chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup dairy free butter
- 1/2 cup flour
- 32 ounces vegetable broth
- 4 cups dairy-free milk unsweetened, I used almondmilk
- 1/2 cup nutritional yeast processed fine
- 1/2 cup vegan parmesan cheese processed fine
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- dash nutmeg
- 1 1/4 teaspoons white pepper
- 1 1/4 teaspoons sea salt
- 1/4 cup homemade vegan ‘parmesan cheese’ for sprinkling over the top at serving time, optional
Instructions
- In a saucepan over the carrots pieces with water, bring to a boil, turn down the heat to medium-high and cook for 15 minutes. Set aside.
- Cook the pasta according to directions on the box, drain and set aside.
- Heat dairy-free butter over medium heat in a stockpot.
- Sauté onion for 5 minutes, add the garlic and cook for 2 more minutes.
- Add flour and cook, stirring 2 more minutes.
- Stir in vegetable broth, dairy-free milk, nutritional yeast, vegan parmesan cheese and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until thickened.
- If the soup is thicker than you like you can add a little water and heat through, between water additions, until you get the thickness you like.
- Add cooked carrots, seasonings, and prepared penne pasta and heat through.
- Serve sprinkled with homemade parmesan cheese and black pepper (optional).

I use Silk in smoothies, but I’ve never thought to use it in other recipes. I’m loving this healthier Alfredo, and I would love to try it!

I hope you get to try it Dee. I use Silk in anything that calls for milk.

Whoa! This soup is calling my name! I’ve never had anything like it!! Alfredo sauce was always my favorite, but so heavy. Now I can enjoy those flavors without feeling weighed down. Thank you for a fantastic recipe. Love the holiday health tips, too. I’ll be needing them 🙂

This looks delicious! My kids would love the pasta!!! Adding this to my list of things to make this week!

That’s great Sarah! It’s a great family meal.

Hi! So I am assuming that if I would like to freeze this soup in meal portions for the future, I can either leave the pasta out of the recipe entirely until serving or just cook the pasta more al dente before freezing? I’m new to cooking and freezing meals for the week. Thanks! I’m so excited to make this!
-
I would leave the pasta out completely. After defrosting, heat the soup through and add the pasta. It would be the safest thing to do. In fact, I would do that with all soups that have pasta. Soups freeze so well and pasta can be really finicky.

Oh yummy, this looks so warm and comforting I bet it’s absolutely delicious! -
I wouldn’t have thought myself of using almond milk in a pasta dish. What an interesting idea!
-
Oh, it’s good Julia. I use it a lot!
-
-
Almond milk adds such a great creaminess. This looks like such a tasty soup. -
These are great tips ad I can’t believe that soup is vegan! Looks so tasty-
Not with Silk. It might with others. Almond Breeze for sure but there are many others.
-
-
Never tried an alfredo soup before, but it looks really thick and creamy. Does it have any almond flavor from the almond milk?-
Depends on the milk. Almond Breeze – yes. Silkmilk – no. Others – depends 😀

Where has this luscious soup been all my life?? I ADORE pasta alfredo, and I love almond milk, too, so this is a win win 🙂
