It’s winter. I get it. I may live in Florida, wear flip-flops to work all year (hehe), but I get it. I grew up in Boston after all, went to college in New Hampshire and I swear we had a bazillion blizzards my senior year, but my memory serves and I get it. It is January, it is cold outside, warm inside. This clearly calls for soup.

And so here we have this easy little soup recipe here. Healthy. Healthful. Soulful. See, we don’t need cream of anything, or even cream, to enjoy potato and leek deliciousness. To have a bowl of love, to nurse the ailments, the sniffles, and get us through …whatever. Pure comfort. Served with a spoon.

So this dinner was literally thrown together on a weeknight. I had something else in mind, but soup is where I ended up. Divine intervention perhaps? Maybe. Because it sure hit the spot when it did.

I have come to love cooking with vegetable broth like I used to love chicken broth. It may sound like such a minor change, and it is, but it comes with huge ramification and huge-er satisfaction and all the flavor you could ever hope for.

Potatoes and leeks! This timeless combination is usually drowned in cream and cheese and eggs or quiche and such. So, this recipe is a simple soup where the ingredients can speak for themselves. I did use wine, because I ADORE the flavor wine imparts when I cook with it. And herbs. Always.

So that’s it folks! I like never make soup, but here I am giving you a soup as my first recipe for 2017. Enjoy and have a peaceful New Year. ?

For another vegan soup, I also recommend my Black Bean Soup (with a secret ingredient!).

  • 2 large leeks thinly sliced (white parts only)
