Enjoy it on chilly days or any time you’re craving a warm, satisfying meal. Let’s make soup!
How to Make Potato Leek Soup
This soup begins with sautéing leeks and celery in olive oil or vegan butter (dairy butter works too if not vegan) to create a savory base. Next come the aromatics: thyme and garlic, plus the soup essentials: sea salt and black pepper. Then we add the chopped potatoes and sauté them a bit to add flavor. We love using Yukon gold potatoes and leaving the skins on for a rustic feel. Any variety of potato should work here, but if using russet potatoes, we suggest peeling them. For the liquid, we prefer water over vegetable broth because it lets the flavor of the leek and potatoes shine through. Light coconut milk provides additional liquid while also making it a rich and creamy vegan potato leek soup! Once the potatoes are tender, an immersion blender brings everything together into a creamy and cohesive soup. Garnish with sliced green onion or chives, coconut bacon, and vegan sour cream (all optional) to make it extra special! We hope you LOVE this potato leek soup!
