Ingredients

• 3 stalks Leeks (white and light green parts only)
• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 6 cups Vegetable broth
• 1 cup Unsweetened plant-based milk
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Start by thoroughly washing the leeks to remove any dirt. Slice the leeks into thin rounds, using only the white and light green parts.

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and chop them into roughly 1-inch cubes.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened and fragrant. Avoid browning the leeks.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic cloves and cook for an additional minute, stirring to prevent burning.

Step 5

Add the chopped potatoes and the vegetable broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.

Step 6

Cover the pot and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.

Step 7

Remove the pot from the heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup to a blender in batches and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.

Step 8

Stir in the unsweetened plant-based milk to achieve a creamy consistency. Add salt and ground black pepper to taste.

Step 9

Return the soup to low heat and gently warm through, but do not boil.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy with crusty bread or crackers for a complete meal.
