Leek and Potato Soup

By Lois Leave a Comment

Leek and Potato Soup. Rich. Creamy. Vegan. Scrumptious. Try it with homemade croutons. Mmmmmm.

Leek and Potato Soup

Leek and Potato Soup will warm you up.

Cold weather makes us crave comfort food at our house. Leeks and potatoes just seem to go together, don’t they?

One Saturday Don and I were in Wytheville, Virginia, to do some home repair and yard work at his mom’s house. I made this yummy soup. It was fun to be able to use Momma Betty’s beautiful dishes for our country lunch. Do you have some of your mom’s dishes that you love to use?

Do you ever use a soup tureen? It is a stunning way to efficiently serve soup to a small group. Set the tureen in the middle of the table and designate someone to serve each guest. Add some Homemade Croutons, French Bread and a Green Salad, and you have an amazing supper. Simple peasant fare.

What You Need

For this recipe, you need knives, a cutting board, a good soup pot, a vegetable peeler, and measuring cups and spoons. But what you really want is a cool soup tureen, right?

Author Recipe Idea Shop/Lois Carter Crawford

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 leeks (white and tender green part only)
  • 2 stalks celery
  • 2 carrots

  4. Add the leeks and cook until tender, about 5-10 minutes.
  5. Slice the celery and add it to the leeks.
  6. Peel the carrots and slice them in rounds. Add them to the leek mixture.

  7. Mince the garlic and add it to the other veggies, cooking another couple of minutes.

  8. Add the pepper, salt, bouillion cubes and water.
  9. Cut the potatoes (leave skins on) into bite-sized pieces and add them to the pot.

  10. Cook for another 20 minutes or so over medium heat until the potatoes are tender.
  11. Add the coconut milk and heat for another 5 minutes until hot.
  12. Serve with a little chopped fresh parsley and a few Homemade Croutons, if desired.
