Vegan Potato Leek Soup - the combination of creamy potatoes, delicate leeks with herbal notes of rosemary and thyme will have you going back for seconds! It's dairy-free, gluten-free and just good for you, too!

Potatoes are my favorite comfort food...

I love them baked, broiled, fried, mashed, or soup-ified! They are especially comforting when the cooler weather hits, so my kitchen counters are overflowing with those heavenly gems.

This Vegan Potato Leek Soup fits the bill when it comes to comfort and I make it all ~~year~~ winter long! It's satisfying, belly-warming, and oh-so-cozy!

I'm a big soup lover and It's definitely my go-to meal in the winter. It's easy to make, inexpensive, hearty, filling, and delicious!

Plus, it freezes really well too, so I always have a variety to choose from. It makes weeknight dinners a breeze, and we never get bored.

This Vegan French Onion Soup is another favorite of mine and I make it often. It's so rich & savory and makes the house smell heavenly! Oh, yes, it's topped with bubbling vegan cheese too!

Is Vegan Potato Leek Soup Good For You?

Yes! Potatoes are an excellent source of potassium, zinc, copper, B6, vitamin C, phosphorus, manganese, niacin, fiber, and pantothenic acid. Lots of antioxidant power! They are healthy and delicious!

Unfortunately, deep frying doesn't make them healthy anymore, so I enjoy french fries in moderation or I bake them instead.

Leeks have an excellent source of vitamin K, manganese, vitamin B6, copper, iron, folate, magnesium, vitamin E, calcium, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamin C. They have a subtle flavor compared to their onion counterpart.

Ingredients Needed

You won't need to buy anything fancy to make this soup - just basic kitchen staples that are inexpensive and easy to find. You'll need:

Olive oil
Vegan Butter
Onion
Garlic
Leeks
Potatoes
Thyme, Rosemary, Coriander, Bay Leaves, Salt and Pepper
Lemon Juice
Canned Coconut Milk

You won't taste the coconut milk, but if you prefer, you can use any unsweetened non-dairy milk. You can even omit the milk altogether and it will still be really creamy. The potatoes work most of the magic anyway.

How to Make Vegan Potato Leek Soup

Wash the leeks well (they are very dirty inside)
Sauté the onions and leeks
Add the potatoes, garlic, salt, pepper & spices
Add the vegetable broth & bay leaf
Simmer for 15-20 minutes until potatoes are tender
Stir in coconut milk and lemon juice
Blend until smooth and creamy (you can also leave it chunky)
Garnish and serve

Can I Freeze It?

YES, it freezes really well! I just leave out the coconut milk from the portion that I'll be freezing. When I'm ready to make it, I defrost it overnight in the fridge and heat up slowly on the stove. Then I'll add the coconut milk when it’s fully heated.

You can top it with almost anything like Fresh-Cut Chives, Green Onions, Vegan Bacon, Swirled Coconut Milk, Fresh Cracked Pepper, a Pat of Vegan Butter, Vegan Sour Cream, Crushed Red Pepper, Smoked Paprika, Squeeze of Lemon (highly recommend), and so much more!

It goes well with a big ol' loaf of crusty bread too!
