Ingredients

  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 leeks, cleaned and sliced (white and light green parts)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup coconut milk or other plant-based milk
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt, adjust to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Chopped chives or parsley for garnish, optional

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and leeks, and sauté until soft and fragrant (about 5-7 minutes).
  2. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Cook Potatoes: Add the diced potatoes and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  4. Blend the Soup: Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or blend in batches in a standard blender.
  5. Add Creaminess: Stir in the coconut milk and heat gently. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, as needed.
  6. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped chives or parsley, if desired. Enjoy hot!
