Servings: 4 people
Calories: 216kcal
Equipment
- A large pot
- A wooden spoon
- A blender or immersion blender (optional)
- A ladle
- Bowls and spoons for serving
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 leeks white and light green parts only, thinly sliced
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 3 potatoes large: peeled and chopped
- 4 cups vegetable stock
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ¼ cup vegan cream for a creamier consistency (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the leeks and garlic, and sauté until the leeks are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add the potatoes, vegetable broth, bay leaf, and thyme to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Remove the bay leaf from the pot. Use an immersion blender or transfer the soup to a blender to blend until smooth (optional). If you prefer a chunkier soup, skip this step.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. If you want a creamier consistency, add some plant-based milk or cream and stir until well combined.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot. Enjoy!
Notes
Meal Prep - To make the soup ahead of time, let it cool completely, then transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stove or in the microwave before serving.
Consistency: If the soup is too thick, you can thin it out with some extra vegetable broth or water.
Tip: If you don't have an immersion blender or regular blender, you can use a potato masher to mash the potatoes until they reach your desired consistency.
Flavour: For a bit of extra flavour, try adding some chopped fresh herbs like parsley, chives, or dill to the soup before serving.
