Instructions
- Heat vegan spread in large soup pot or dutch oven until melted and foaming. Add chopped leeks and onions and sauté over medium high heat until vegetables are slightly wilted, but not browned-approximately 2 minutes.
- Add chopped potatoes, broth, water, and salt to pot, and bring to a boil. Bring down heat to low, and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes.
- Puree soup in the pot using an immersion blender, OR transfer carefully in batches to a blender, and combine until well blended. Serve warm OR chill soup in refrigerator, and serve cold.
- Top bowls of soup with fresh pea shoots. Enjoy!
Notes
Ingredient Swaps
- Swap Yukon Gold potatoes with red potatoes, sweet potatoes, purple potatoes, and more.
- Leeks are a dirty veggie! Be sure to clean & rinse 'em well to remove all the loose dirt.
- I suggest choosing a sweet onion for a subtle layer of additional flavor, but any type of onion will work.
- I don't use any milk in this vegan potato soup, but feel free to add almond or coconut milk for an extra-creamy vegan potato leek soup. Or organic soy milk for extra protein.
- Salt, nutritional yeast, black pepper, and a splash of lemon juice
- Toppings: Spring pea shoots! Chives, green onions, gluten-free croutons, fresh herbs-parsley, dill, or thyme.
