potato leek soup

Cozy and comforting, Potato Leek Soup combines potatoes, leeks and broth for a simple homemade soup the whole family will love!

Potato Leek Soup

leeks (dark green stems removed)

onion

potatoes

flour (use AP gluten free flour

butter

chicken stock (use vegetable broth for vegetarians)

2% milk

salt and fresh pepper

Wash leeks very carefully to remove all grit. I usually cut them horizontally and separate the rings to make sure no dirt remains. Coarsely chop them when washed.

In a medium soup pot, melt butter and add flour on low flame.

Using a wooden spoon, mix well. This will thicken your soup and give it a wonderful flavor.

Add chicken stock, leeks, onion, potatoes and bring to a boil.

Cover and simmer on low for about 20-25 minutes, until potatoes are soft.

Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth adding the milk and adjusting salt and pepper to taste.

Serve immediately.

This Instant Pot Potato Leek Soup recipe is easy to make with just a few ingredients. It&#x27;s deliciously creamy, but made without cream. One of our favorite cozy and comforting soups!

Instant Pot Potato Leek Soup

leeks

garlic (minced)

thyme

bay leaf

salt (or

black pepper (or

vegetable broth (or chicken broth, plus up to ½ cup more as needed)

chives (for garnish)

Cut the leeks (white and light green parts only) in half lengthwise and then cut into ¼-inch wide half moons. Wash the chopped leeks in a bowl of cool water (or in a salad spinner) and drain well.

Melt the butter in the Instant Pot using saute mode.

Add the leeks to the pot and saute until softened, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Press Cancel to turn off the Instant Pot.

Pour in one cup of the broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

Add the potatoes, thyme sprigs, bay leaf, salt, pepper and remaining 2 ½ cups broth to the pot. Stir.

Close the Instant Pot lid. Turn the steam release valve to the sealing position. Use the Pressure Cook or Manual button to set the pressure cook time to 8 minutes at high pressure. The Instant Pot will take about 15 minutes to reach pressure and then the cook time will begin counting down.

When the cook time ends, let the Instant Pot release naturally for 10 minutes by letting it rest. Then quick release any remaining pressure by carefully turning the steam release valve to the venting position.

Open the lid. Remove and discard the bay leaf and thyme stems. Most of the thyme leaves should have fallen off into the soup.

Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or transfer it in batches to a counter top blender.

Taste and season with more salt and pepper, if needed. If the soup is too thick for your liking, add another ½ cup of broth. Serve garnished with chopped fresh chives.

Stovetop Instaructions

Melt butter in the inner pot on sauté mode; stir in onion, celery and leek.

Cook until tender, about 7 minutes, stirring frequently. It will cook down in volume, FYI.

Add in chicken stock, potato, cauliflower florets, salt, pepper, bay leaves and thyme.

Cook on high pressure for 15 minutes, and quick release the pressure (QR) when the cook time is complete. (Hint: I place a dish towel over the lever before releasing pressure to avoid starchy liquid from spraying everywhere.)

Creamy, comforting, flavorful potato leek soup that’s plant-based, gluten-free, and easy to make. Made in 1 pot with just 9 simple ingredients!

Creamy Vegan Potato Leek Soup

Tbsp olive oil

celery*

tsp sea salt

tsp dried thyme ((or 2 tsp fresh))

garlic, minced

water ((or sub up to

coconut milk ((or sub homemade cashew cream*))

green onion or chives

bacon

Vegan sour cream

Remove the end and dark green part of the leek and discard (or reserve greens for making vegetable broth). Slice the white and light green part of the leek in half lengthwise and clean by running cold water over each half, getting in between the leaves to remove any dirt. Then slice into 1/4-inch slices.

Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat and add the olive oil, chopped leek, and celery. Cook for about 5 minutes, until everything is slightly softened and fragrant. Add salt, pepper, thyme, and garlic. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.

Add in the potatoes, toss to evenly combine leek mixture with the potatoes, and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently.

Add in the water and coconut milk and bring the soup to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to a low simmer and cover for 20-25 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes or so. After 25 minutes your potatoes should be fork tender but still somewhat intact.

Once your potatoes are cooked, use an immersion blender to purée 3/4 of the soup, leaving some small chunks of potato. You can also put half of the soup in a high-speed heat-proof blender, blend until smooth, and add it back to the rest of the soup. We like our soup a little rustic and brothy with pieces of potato, but you can also purée it until completely smooth if preferred.

Taste and adjust as needed, adding salt for overall flavor, black pepper for kick, or more thyme for complexity.

Serve in bowls (optionally) garnished with sliced green onions or chives, coconut bacon, and vegan sour cream. Store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or in the freezer for 1 month. Reheat on the stovetop over low-medium heat until warm.

Creamy Vegan Potato Leek Soup | Minimalist Baker Recipes

Let me show you how to make the BEST dairy-free potato leek soup! It turns out super creamy and silky smooth, yet it&#39;s healthy and easy to make!

Dairy-free Potato Leek Soup Recipe

olive oil butter

leeks, well washed and roughly chopped

garlic cloves,

Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and roughly chopped

white beans, drained and rinsed

bay leaves

black pepper,

To a large soup pot or a Dutch oven, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the leeks and cook for 5 minutes, lowering the heat if necessary, to prevent burning. Then add the garlic and cook for 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally, until the leeks are lightly golden and the garlic releases its flavor.

Add the potatoes, white beans, bay leaves, thyme strings, salt, black pepper, and vegetable broth. Stir and bring to a boil. Simmer over medium-low heat for 15-20 minutes with a lid on, until the potatoes are very soft.

Take out the thyme and the bay leaves and use an immersion blender to blend the soup. If you are using a standard blender, make sure to let the soup cool a bit before handling. Fill the jar only halfway through and leave the hole in the lid open to allow steam to escape. Blend until creamy and pour into a clean pot.

Add this point, you can taste and adjust the flavor, and the thickens of the soup. If it&#39;s too thick, add more vegetable broth, one cup at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.

Serve with a drizzle of olive oil and some fresh thyme on top. If you&#39;re feeling extra fancy you can top it with some dairy-free cheese as well (optional). Enjoy!

This Cauliflower Potato Leek Soup is rich, creamy, and packs layers of deep flavor! It&#39;s comforting, and filling, and is naturally vegan and gluten-free!

Creamy Cauliflower Potato Leek Soup Recipe

cauliflower

leeks,

salt, divided

potatoes,

springs fresh thyme

full-fat coconut milk (canned, (or more if desired))

Preheat oven to 180C (356F). Add cauliflower florets to a baking dish. Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with ½ tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Add the garlic head in the middle of the tray, with the cut side up.

Roast for 25-30 minutes or until the cauliflower is golden and the garlic cloves are soft.

Roast the cauliflower and garlic

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a Dutch oven. Add leeks and season with a generous pinch of tsp salt, and sauté for 5-6 minutes.

Next, add potatoes, vegetable broth, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/8 tsp black pepper, and fresh thyme. Bring to a boil and simmer on medium-low heat for 20-25 minutes or until the potatoes are soft.

Peel the garlic cloves and add them to the pot, alongside the roasted cauliflower. Continue simmering for 10 more minutes to ensure that all of the veggies are cooked through.

Remove the thyme. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until creamy and smooth. (If are using a standard blender it&#39;s important to let the soup cool a bit before transferring it. Don&#39;t fill the jar more than halfway and make sure that you leave the hole in the lid open so that heat can escape).

Add coconut milk, and any additional water or vegetable broth to the soup if you need to thin it out. Taste and adjust the flavor if needed, adding more salt for saltiness, black pepper to taste, or more coconut milk if you like it creamier. Serve!
