Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 large leeks, cleaned and sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 5 cups Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and diced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 bay leaf
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the leeks and cook until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the garlic and cook for another 2 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the diced potatoes, vegetable broth, bay leaf, sprigs of thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
Cover the pot and let the soup simmer for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Remove the bay leaf and thyme sprigs.
Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup to a standard blender in batches and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.
Stir in the coconut milk and lemon juice.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if desired.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
