Ingredients

Yield: Carrot Leek Soup (2 Servings)
Needed Kitchenware: Cooking pot, hand-held immersion blender or blender
  • 250g white potatoes
  • 2 leeks
  • 1 small onion
  • 4 small carrots
  • ½ l vegetable broth or stock (~2¼ cups)
  • salt & pepper to taste
Recipe Directions

Directions

  • Prepare all your vegetables. Remove and discard the leek's green leaves at the top. Then slice the onion, leeks, and carrots into equal slices about ½ inch thick. Cut the potatoes into small chunks. You can peel the potatoes or leave the peel on. Set aside a couple of leek slices for a garnish later.
  • Pour the vegetable broth or stock into a large cooking pot over medium heat. Add all the vegtables into the pot. Once it begins to simmer, turn down to medium low and cook for 20-30 minutes until the potatoes are soft.
  • Turn the stove off and take the pot off the burner. If using a hand-held immersion blender, blend the mixture until smooth. If using a blender, carefully pour the contents from the pot into your blender and blend until smooth.
  • Serve in a bowl and garnish with salt, pepper, and your saved leek slices.

Carrot and leek vegan vegetarian soup

Carrot and Leek Soup

Super healthy, nutritious and delicious soup! It can take as little as 30 minutes to make and only uses 1 pot, it couldn't be any easier to make.

This light soup is full of vitamins and minerals while being very light on calories. You'll be getting more than the daily recommended amount of vitamin A in one serving and nearly half the RDA recommendation of vitamins K and B6. Also, a third of the recommendation of vitamin C.

The taste of carrot and leeks combine to create a subtle sweet and savory dish that is warming yet light. A great choice for a summer soup or a light meal.
