2large Leeks sliced thin - mostly white part, discard the tough green tops
2tsp10g fresh Thyme
2Bay Leaves
2Tbsp30g Vegan Butter
4cups946ml No Chicken Broth or Vegetable Broth
1cup236ml Plant Milk
Salt & Pepper to taste
Chopped Chives and Pea Tendrils for garnish
Instructions
Melt the vegan butter in a large pot on medium heat. Add in the sliced leeks and celery and sauté for 3-5 minutes or until they have softened.
Add in the peeled, cubed potatoes, thyme, bay leaves and season with salt & pepper. Cook for 5 minutes stirring occasionally. Add in the broth and reduce the heat to medium low. Cover and allow to simmer for 25 minutes or until the potatoes are soft.
Remove the bay leaves and blend the soup to a creamy consistency. You can use an immersion blender for ease or blend in batches with a traditional blender.
Add the plant milk and stir well. Allow the soup to heat through. Garnish with fresh chives or tender greens such as pea tendrils. Serve with slices of grilled bread for dunking.
Leek tend to hide dirt between their layers so make sure to wash them well. I like to slice them down the center and rinse the layers under running water.
