Creamy, Smoky, Vegan Leek and Potato Soup. ๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿผโ€๐Ÿณ๐Ÿ”ช

This is my first time using Leeks As a centerpiece to a recipe. I have used them many times before but as parts of a dish, not as the main ingredient. I was very pleased on how this soup came out. The smoky notes from the smoked paprika, and the cumin really went very well with the excellent flavors of the caramelized leeks and potatoes.

Ingredients:
1/2 of a red onion minced
1 tsp of cumin
1 minced Jalapeรฑo for garnish (optional)
1 large leek sliced into thin wheels
4 tbsp white cooking wine
1/2 tbsp of garlic salt
6 cloves of minced garlic
2 lbs of organic potatoes peeled
1 tsp smoked paprika
2 tbsp of coconut oil

Start by dropping the coconut oil in a dutch oven or soup pot on high heat then add your minced garlic and onion and cook until softened and translucent before adding the leeks. Cook the Leeks until softened.

To the softened leeks add your potatoes and stir well, add 6 cups of water or vegetable stock, then add the rest of your seasonings, and cooking wine. Cover and cook on medium heat for 30-45 minutes or until potatoes are done.

Remove 30% of the soup from the pot and add to a blender cup and blend until completely smooth texture.

Are you sure the wochestershire sauce is vegan?
Doesn't it contain fish? ๐ŸŸ

You are absolutely right. Some times I forget that anchovies are in tons of sauces as the umami component. I will edit that ingredient out, thank you for reminding me.

As delicious as it looks - and it looks amazing ... maybe with or without the wine though for those who gave that up ๐Ÿคฃ Leek and potato is a winning combination. These photos are wonderful too btw - feeling hungry now and FOLLOWING you for more greatness!

I've never tried leeks to my knowledge. This might be a good way to try them, this fall, too hot now! Oy vey

Haha, it is hot, especially here in Florida. This is a great way to try them for sure. They are very delicious.

I commented so I could remember to go back and find the recipe when I get home

This looks so comforting for a cozy evening with some crusty bread. Loving your recipes!

Oh yessss, bring some croutons and crusty bread on please. YUM

Ah- I didn't even think about croutons but yes yes yes!
