Description

A comforting and creamy potato leek soup, perfect for chilly days.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 large leeks, washed and sliced (white and light green parts)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon thyme (dried or fresh)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or plant-based milk)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté leeks for 5-7 minutes until softened, then add minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  2. Add diced potatoes, vegetable broth, thyme, salt, and black pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
  3. Blend the soup until smooth using an immersion blender (or regular blender in batches).
  4. Stir in almond milk and heat through on low. Adjust seasoning as necessary.
  5. Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley.
