Thoroughly clean the leeks by slicing them in half lengthwise and rinsing them under running water to remove dirt. Slice them thinly into half-moons.
Peel and dice the russet potatoes and the sweet potato into 1-inch cubes. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the leeks and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened, stirring occasionally.
Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Stir in the diced russet potatoes and sweet potato. Pour in the vegetable broth and add the bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Remove the bay leaf and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can blend it in batches using a countertop blender. Be cautious with hot liquids.
Stir in the coconut milk and add a pinch of nutmeg if desired. Simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Serve the soup warm, garnished with chopped fresh parsley. Enjoy!
