Creamy Vegan Potato Leek Soup

Hey friends! I’m back with a long overdue recipe for you all. Potato leek soup! This soup has become a staple and fan favourite in my house. Thankfully, it’s super easy to make – you don’t even need a blender!

I think this is the perfect soup for a cold winter day. I can’t wait for spring, but I think a nice warm bowl of soup is one of the many joys of wintertime.

Not only is this soup packed with flavour, but it’s super nutritious! The potatoes offer a wide variety of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Leeks belong to the allium family, which are antiviral, antibacterial, and are also high in sulfur.

Sulfur helps your body repair and protect your cells and your DNA to reduce risk of certain diseases, like cancer. It also stimulates detoxification in the liver!

I’ve tried this recipe with both coconut milk and almond milk, and I will say I prefer the coconut milk version. But, if you’re unable to use coconut milk, the almond milk version is still super tasty!

Happy cooking!
