I love this warming soup, it’s just perfect for cold, short winter days!
A warmly satisfying and easy-to-make soup! With only 6 ingredients, this Potato Leek Soup is a perfect any-time meal to warm you up on those cold days. By leaving the skin on the potatoes and slicing the leeks thinly, you get a perfectly rustic, more flavorful soup, and you get to keep the vitamins from the skin! I love this soup for lunch or dinner! Try it, I know you’ll agree!
I like simple stuff, with not that many ingredients 🙂
- 4 spoons coconut butter (oil)
- 3Â Leeks, halved and sliced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 6 cups Veggie Stock
- 6Â Russet Potatoes, halved and sliced
- 1 cup Coconut Milk from the can
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- Freshly cracked Pepper to garnish

HOW IS POTATO LEEK SOUP MADE?
- Cut off the dark green leaves of the leeks, leaving only the white and very light green section of each leek.
- Rinse the leeks thoroughly to remove any sand or dirt.
- Cut the unpeeled potatoes in half lengthwise. Slice 1/4 inch thick.
- Melt the coconut butter over medium-low heat in a large stock pot.
- Add leeks. Cook leeks until soft, stirring often.
- Add garlic to the mixture. Cook for 1 minute, stirring often.
- Add the stock and potatoes to the pot.
- Bring to boil over medium heat, then reduce to simmer for 20 minutes, or until potatoes are fork tender.
- Once potatoes are fork tender, remove from heat.
- Blend it all with a hand blender (or transfer to the big blender)
- Stir in the coconut milk and stir in salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately, garnishing each serving with fresh cracked pepper and sliced green onions.
Enjoy 🙂
