I took my inspiration from here: http://www.foodnetwork.ca/recipes/Soup/Potatoes/recipe.html?dishid=7172
but tweaked it to be dairy free. It turned out really good. I’ve never had
potato and leek soup before though, so I don’t have anything to compare it to,
but I thought it was delicious.
Oh, and I had bought GIANT leeks at the farmers market on
Saturday, seriously, these things were taller then my three year old, it was
awesome.

Potato and Leek Soup
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons oil (I used olive oil) (45 ml)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups leeks, white part and a little green, sliced thinly (325 ml)
- 3 Yukon Gold potatoes
- 6 cups chicken stock (I used vegetable stock) (1.5 L)
- 3 bay leaves
- 2 sprigs of fresh thyme
- 1/2 Juice of 1/2 lemon
- Salt and pepper
Directions
- Heat the oil in a large soup pot over medium high heat. Add onions and leeks and sauté until soft, about 3 minutes. Add potatoes, season and stir. Add the stock, bay leaves and thyme and cook until potatoes are very soft. Puree soup in a blender or food processor, adding lemon juice and seasoning to taste.
I
also only purred half the soup. Which thickened it up but still had some chunks
of potato and leek to eat, which makes me feel fuller – I know it’s all in my
head.
