Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil extra virgin for sautéing
  • 5 potatoes preferably Yukon Gold
  • 4 leeks dark green stems cut and discarded
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 carrot diced
  • 1 onion diced
  • 1 tbsp thyme freshly chopped
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 can coconut milk full fat
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast

Instructions

  • In a soup pot over medium heat, add your olive oil, potatoes, carrot, onion, garlic and spices (thyme + paprika). Saute for 10 minutes.
  • Add the broth to the pot and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down to a simmer and cover. Allow to cook for about 30 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
  • Blend half of the soup in a blender or with an immersion blender. If using a blender, transfer the blended soup back to the pot, if using an immersion blender--serve immediately.

Notes

*To save in the fridge let the soup cool before covering and refrigerating.  If you wish to freeze the soup, let it cool and then freeze it in a container.
*Leftovers will save for about a week in the fridge and up to three months in the freezer.
