Leek and Potato Soup

SoupVeganRecipe

2 July

Leeks and potatoes are classic winter vegetables, so when you’re feeling like an easy dinner on a cold night, warm up with this simple and wholesome soup.

We love simple soups. Whether it’s simply roasting a veggie and blending it up with stock – like our ‘Just One Pumpkin Soup’, or simply using just one pot, like this leek and potato soup – you just can’t beat how delicious they are for such a low effort. The magic happens when you combine fresh & seasonal produce with the flavour bomb that is The Salty Greek seasoning blend. Why make things more complicated?

This healthy, vegan soup is super easy to make and ready to eat in under 30 minutes. Leftovers can keep in the fridge for up to 4 days; store in a sealed container and reheat on stove top or microwave. If you’ve got just enough leftovers to put away, but not enough for another full meal, try adding a can of rinsed butter beans to the leek and potato soup leftovers to still make it a nourishing and (low-cost!) meal.

Or, why not double the recipe and freeze it, for when you know you’re going to be tired after work. It can last for up to 2 months.

Ingredients

2 Tbsp, The Salty Greek (8 mini spoons)
1 Tbsp, Olive Oil
1/4 Cup, Water
1–2 Leeks, whites sliced (keep the green tops for this recipe)
500g, Potato (4-5) peeled and diced
2 Cups, Vegetable Stock
1/4 - 1/2 Cup, Fresh herbs, chopped (optional)

Recipe Steps

In a medium to large sized pot, add olive oil, water and sliced leeks. Sauté over medium heat stirring frequently for about 10 minutes to cook down evenly.
Add potatoes, The Salty Greek, vegetable stock and bring to boil.
Reduce heat, cover, simmer on low heat for about 15 minutes. Check your potatoes are soft and tender by putting a fork into them and making sure they are soft and cooked through.
Tip: If using fresh herbs, add to the pot now.
Using an immersive hand held blender, puree the soup until smooth or you can leave it a little bit chunky (we do). It’s important not to over-blend, otherwise you’ll get a gooey-sticky texture from the potatoes.
Serve warm and enjoy!

Tips: Make sure to wash your leeks well by gently pulling apart the layers to get rid of the soil nestled inside.
