Scale

2 tbsp nsalted butter ((or olive oil for vegan option))

3 medium leeks ((white and light green parts only, sliced))

4 medium potatoes ((peeled and diced))

4 cups vegetable broth

1 cup heavy cream ((or coconut milk for vegan option))

2 cloves garlic ((minced))

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh chives or parsley ((for garnish))

Instructions

Sauté the Leeks and Garlic:

In a large pot, melt the butter (or heat olive oil) over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and garlic, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and fragrant, but not browned.

Add the Potatoes and Broth:

Stir in the diced potatoes and pour in the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Blend the Soup:

Remove the pot from heat. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until creamy.

Stir in the Cream:

Stir in the heavy cream (or coconut milk for a vegan version). Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve:

Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh chives or parsley, and serve warm. You can also add crispy bacon or croutons if you like!
