    Who doesn’t love a comforting, warming, and healthy soup on cold days? This vegan potato leek soup is perfect for that. It’s quickly prepared, loaded with vitamins, and absolutely bursting with flavor.

    This soup is made with potatoes, leek, and carrot. The carrot provides some extra flavor but can also be omitted. Potatoes provide healthy carbohydrates and make for an extra creamy soup.

    You can serve this vegan potato soup as an appetizer or as a light meal. It’s also especially great if you’re on a healthy diet. In any case, it is always a welcoming meal at the family table!

    If you like, you can top it with some croutons or serve it with fresh bread.

    Ingredients

    See recipe card for quantities.

    Potato Leek Soup Ingredients
    • Potatoes→ The main ingredient! I always go for organic potatoes whenever possible. You don’t necessarily have to peel them; washing them thoroughly is sufficient.
    • Leek & Carrot → Extra vegetables for more vitamins and flavor. The carrot is optional and can be omitted.
    • Onion & Garlic → A must for more flavor. Instead of onion, you can also use a shallot. If you can’t tolerate garlic, replace it with some ginger.
    • Vegetable Broth → This is what the vegetables are cooked in!
    • Lime Juice & Curry Powder → To taste & refine.

    Instructions

    This visual step-by-step instruction will help you along the way – definitely recommended if you’re a cooking beginner! The exact quantities and everything else you need to know for the recipe can be found in the recipe card below.

    • Peel and mince the onion and garlic. Peel and roughly chop the potatoes and carrot (no need to peel them if using organic vegetables). Cut the leek into rings.
    • Heat a large pot with oil. Sauté the onion and garlic for 3 minutes.
    • Add potatoes, leek, and carrot, sauté for another 5 minutes.
    • Add the chopped potatoes, leek, and carrots and cook for another 5 minutes.
    • Deglaze with vegetable broth, bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir occasionally.

    • Blend the soup in a high-speed blender, or with a hand blender, until creamy. → Feel free to add more vegetable broth or water if you like your soup a little thinner.
    Vegan Potato Leek Soup Recipe Step 5-6
    • Return soup to the pot, season with lime juice, curry powder, salt, and pepper. → Optional: Decorate the soup with plant-based cream and chopped chives.

    Storage & Freezing Instructions

    How long does this Soup last? You can keep it refrigerated in a sealed container for at least five days.

    How do I heat soup back up? You can put it in the microwave either for a few minutes, or heat it in a pot on the stove over medium heat. The soup may thicken up slightly in the fridge, but it usually liquefies again when it’s warmed up. If it’s still too thick, add some extra water if you need to.

    Can I freeze the soup? Yes, you can freeze it for a good 3 months and defrost straight into a pot over medium heat. You don’t need to let it thaw beforehand.
