If you put some celeriac in your veg soup it will thicken up nicely when you mash or blitz it

you can mash up any vegetables to give you a puree and that would thicken your soup
a decent dollop of double cream stirred in just before serving works pretty well too or you could try adding a little guar gum
another option would be ground flaxseed
I hope some of this helps

I use cornstarch to thicken sauce usually. It has more 'thickening power' than flour, but does come with a few carbs (~5g per tbsp I think)
