Ingredients
- 1 large leek take out the tough green leaves and chop up the rest after thorough washing
- 2 potatoes diced into cubes
- 1 onion chopped fine
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 carrots chopped
- 1 zucchini chopped
- 1 tsp. vegan butter or olive oil
- 1 cup almond milk or soy milk
- 1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
- ½ tsp. garam masala (optional) my Indian twist
- salt to taste
- vegetable broth or soup cube
- 1 tsp. finely chopped dill
- 2 mushrooms for garnish
Instructions
- Tip in the vegan butter or olive oil in a pan or a pot. Heat it. Put in the chopped veggies like leeks, onions, minced garlic, zucchini and carrots.
- Let them cook for 3-4 minutes. Put in the potatoes and water or stock.
- Let it come to a boil. Add salt and garam masala (optional) and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
- Turn off the heat, cool down the soup and blend it not too fine. Put the soup back in the pan and add almond milk. Boil for a couple of minutes more.
- Add finely chopped dill and freshly ground pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Add finely sliced mushrooms either sauteed or cooked in the boiling soup for about a minute. Serve with toasted bread for a satisfying vegan leek and potato soup.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, you can use regular butter and milk in the recipe.
- If you can't find leeks, use spring onions in their place. You can also use more onion instead.
- This is a thick soup. Add more stock or water if it feels too thick.
- You could add other vegetables like beans etc. if you so desire.
- This soup is a great way to let your kids consume some vegetables.

First of all, I love having soups when it is such a suhana mausam. Secondly, this soup has my favourite garlic and thirdly, you serve it with sautéed mushrooms and toasted bread! The entire package is 'to-die-for' ! Bas, ab kitchen mein jaa kar banaega kaun!? Should I come over to your place? Remember the house -keeping service I offered in return of some yummy food cooked by you? That offer still stands...Hehehe! Loved this recipe, Rachna. Hoping to try it some day, when the cooking bug bites! ?❤
Rachna says

I make a similar version using potatoes, carrots and peas but I pressure cook it. This sounds incredibly tasty and oh, the weather today is screaming for it 😀 Thanks Rachna!
Rachna says
Sounds good. If you don't have leek, you could use spring onion or just normal onion as replacement. 🙂
