Make this velvety Potato Leek Soup for a comforting, easy weeknight dinner. This recipe delivers rich flavor and a smooth texture without using any dairy products.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 large leeks, white and light green parts only, cleaned and sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1.5 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 0.5 cup unsweetened plain almond milk (or other non-dairy milk)
  • Fresh chives, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and translucent, about 8 to 10 minutes. Do not let them brown.
  2. Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the diced potatoes, vegetable broth, salt, and pepper to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are very tender.
  4. Remove the pot from the heat. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup directly in the pot until it is completely smooth and velvety. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a standard blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.
  5. Stir in the unsweetened almond milk. Heat the soup gently over low heat until warmed through. Do not boil after adding the milk.
  6. Taste the soup and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
  7. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish generously with fresh chopped chives before serving.

Notes

  • For an even richer flavor, roast the potatoes before adding them to the soup base.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, use slightly less vegetable broth or mash a few of the cooked potatoes before blending.
  • This soup is excellent for meal planning and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to four days.
  • If you are looking for structured eating guidance alongside your home cooking, consider looking into meal planning services.
