dairy free potato leek soup

you're 30 minutes away from soup heaven

Hi friend!

I’ve been saying “soup season” since the first crisp autumn breeze, and I probably won’t stop until I finally feel the warmth of spring sunshine on my face. So it will probably be a long while yet.

This winter I’ve been going big on Zuppa Toscana (gotta love an Olive Garden copycat recipe, right?).

But now? It’s time for Leek & Potato Soup. Or Potato Leek. Whichever side of the pond you’re from and however you say it doesn’t matter. What DOES matter though, is that we’ve made it through the chill of autumn, the cold busyness of Christmas and now we’ve got this hearty, creamy bowl to curl up with after a long January day. It’s simple, comforting, and as satisfying as that first cold-weather sweater wear. Plus, you can whip it up in one pot - my kind of recipe!

Speaking of comfort, HAVE YOU MADE SOUP THIS YEAR YET? If you haven’t, I can’t say this enough: get some cozy slippers on, grab a snuggly, warm jumper and make some.

Make sure you share your leek & potato creations by hitting reply to this email. I can’t wait to see your creations & share them with everyone!

Notes

Serve with crusty bread and topped with fresh chives, crispy fried leeks, seeds or croutons.

Potatoes: Choose a variety that’s best for mashing, like Maris Piper, King Egwards, Yukon Gold or Russet.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Extra creaminess: Add a splash of dairy free heavy or double cream or a swirl of coconut cream.

Short on time? Use frozen leeks, onions & garlic to speed up prep.
